Bill Summary

The bill gives a county or municipality discretion to publish legal notices online on the newspaper's website instead. Legal notices published online must be free to access and cannot be kept behind a paywall or subscription.
AI Summary
This bill allows counties and municipalities in Colorado to publish legal notices online on a newspaper's website instead of solely in a physical print newspaper, giving them discretion in how they fulfill this requirement. Legal notices, which are official announcements required by law to inform the public about government actions or proceedings, must be made available online for free, meaning they cannot be hidden behind a paywall or require a subscription to view. Newspapers will satisfy this online publication requirement by either posting the full text of the notice on their website or by providing a link to where the full text is available, such as a statewide public notice website that lists newspapers meeting legal requirements and is organized by county.
