Bill > SB1073

This bill modifies public notice requirements for towns, cities, and counties in Arizona by allowing these local government entities to satisfy statutory advertising, publishing, and printing requirements by posting such notices on their official websites. Specifically, the bill mandates that when a town, city, or county posts public notices online, they must create a prominent "public notices" link at the top of their homepage that leads to a categorized listing of all statutorily required notices. The bill applies to towns, cities, and counties across Arizona, with one exception for city charter notice publications. The legislation also repeals an existing section of county law (Section 11-255) and directs the legislative council staff to prepare conforming legislation to align the Arizona Revised Statutes with these new provisions. This change represents a shift towards digital communication of public information, potentially making government notices more accessible to residents by centralizing them on official websites and making them easier to find.
