Bill > H1958

This bill modifies Section 58 of chapter 207 of the 2020 official edition to update the rules for how justices of the peace can advertise their services. The changes include allowing justices to use gender-neutral language by adding "or her" alongside "his" when referring to advertising, expanding the permissible advertising methods to include digital platforms like websites, social media, and electronic directories, and adding email addresses as a form of contact information. The bill removes previous restrictions on using business cards and broadens the definition of advertising media from traditional print sources like newspapers and magazines to include a wide range of digital and electronic communication channels. These updates reflect the modern communication landscape and provide justices of the peace with more flexible options for promoting their services while maintaining professional standards.
