Bill > A04904

This bill amends the county law to require county clerks to designate a specific newspaper or journal for publishing all legal notices and advertisements related to judicial proceedings within their county. Currently, there may be multiple newspapers used for such publications, but this legislation aims to streamline the process by mandating that county clerks select one official newspaper for all judicial notices. The bill ensures that when a county clerk is legally obligated to designate newspapers for publishing legal notices, they must choose a single newspaper (or if multiple are designated, select one) to be the official publication for all judicial proceeding notices and advertisements in that county. This change could potentially simplify the public notification process and provide more clarity about where important legal information will be published. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
