Summary

The bill adds a new rule that any legal public notice must appear in a newspaper’s printed edition and on its website. Newspapers cannot charge a fee just to view or post those notices online, though they may still charge for other website content. This expands access to important information while protecting newspapers’ revenue streams for other services.
