Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a municipality may publish a legal notice in a newspaper likely to give notice in the area or to the persons affected or the municipality may post the legal notice in at least three public places likely to give notice to the persons affected by the content of the legal notice.

This bill provides that the Internet may be one of the three public places that a municipality may post a legal notice if the municipality elects to use that method of posting a legal notice.
