Acting Governor Way signed S-4136/A-5343, which authorizes public bodies to continue using newspapers for required public notices and legal advertisements until June 30 and requires newspapers to disclosure circulation and clicks by municipalities and counties.
For more information, please review the League’s recent Newsflash.
We continue to work on long-term solutions that will permit municipalities, counties, and school boards to publish public notices and legal advertisements on the public agencies’ websites.
As we continue to advocate for the ability for towns to publish such notices on their municipal websites, we are repeatedly asked how much municipalities are spending on publishing such notices. Please take a few minutes to complete a survey on costs from 2020 through 2024. Also, if you have not done so already, consider adopting the sample resolution supporting legislation permitting publication of legal notices on municipalities’ websites.
