AI Summary
This bill amends various sections of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to allow counties that do not have a local newspaper to publish certain official notices on their county websites instead of in a newspaper. This change is intended to modernize and simplify the process of publishing these notices, particularly for counties that lack a local newspaper. The bill specifies that when online publication is used, county boards of supervisors must ensure the content is secure, verifiable, and accessible to the public. This provision applies to a wide range of official actions, including resolutions declaring intent to issue bonds, notices of public hearings, reports on financial conditions, and other public announcements that were previously required to be published in newspapers.
