Bill > A02306

This bill amends the New York General Construction Law to allow public notices that are traditionally required to be published in newspapers to also be published online, providing an alternative method of public notification. Specifically, the bill permits online news publications to satisfy legal notice requirements if they meet two key criteria: the publication must provide daily general interest news for a specific geographic area and must have been continuously published for at least one year. The online publication must still adhere to all other legal requirements related to the notice, such as content, timing, and other stipulations, with the only exception being the requirement of newspaper publication. This change offers government agencies and organizations more flexibility in how they communicate public notices, potentially reducing printing costs and increasing accessibility by leveraging online platforms that are widely used by the public.
