Bill Summary
CONCERNING UNPAID ONLINE ACCESS TO PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLISHED IN LEGAL NEWSPAPERS.
AI Summary
This bill requires newspapers that publish legal notices, which are official announcements required by law, to also make these notices available online for free. Specifically, newspapers must post these notices on their own websites without requiring a subscription or payment to view them, and they can either post the full text directly or provide a link to where the full text is available, such as a statewide website that lists newspapers meeting legal requirements by county.
