Bill > LB596

This bill modifies the requirements for legal publications and notices in Nebraska by expanding the ways such notices can be legally published. Currently, legal notices must be published in a newspaper (daily, semiweekly, or triweekly), but the bill now allows these notices to also be published on a website or digital news publication application if the digital platform does not have a print publication. The bill maintains existing requirements that notices must be published for a specific number of days or weeks, and continues to require that publications be made by qualified newspapers or digital news publications. Additionally, the bill preserves the existing requirement that legal publications must also be posted on a statewide website maintained by a majority of Nebraska newspapers, which was originally established in October 2022. The purpose of these changes appears to be to modernize and provide more flexibility in how legal notices can be disseminated to the public, recognizing the increasing role of digital media in information distribution. The original section of law is repealed and replaced with this updated version.
