Bill Summary
Relative to legal advertisements in online-only newspapers. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow online-only newspapers in Massachusetts to satisfy legal advertisement publication requirements by publishing on their own website and on a statewide website, rather than in a physical print publication. Additionally, the bill specifies that errors or temporary website outages on the online-only newspaper's website or the statewide website that prevent the display of a legal notice will not constitute a defect in publication, as long as the notice appears correctly on one of the websites and meets all other legal requirements.
