AI Summary

This bill allows the town of Arlington, including its public schools and related entities, to publish legal notices digitally instead of in print newspapers. The select board and school committee can choose the specific digital publication methods, which can include a newspaper's website, local news websites, a statewide repository, or the town's own website. The bill does not change the timing requirements for publishing these legal notices, and it takes effect immediately upon passage.
