Bill > H4510

This bill allows the town of Plymouth and its public schools to publish legal notices through alternative digital platforms instead of being limited to traditional print newspapers. Specifically, the bill permits legal notices to be published via: (1) a print newspaper, (2) a local online news website, (3) a town-wide website functioning as a notice repository, or (4) a statewide website serving as a notice repository. Importantly, the bill clarifies that while the publication methods are expanded, the timing and requirements for legal notice publication remain unchanged according to existing state laws. The legislation provides flexibility for Plymouth to modernize its public notice system by embracing digital communication channels while maintaining the core purpose of ensuring public access to important legal information. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage and has received local approval.
