Changes the law regarding advertisements and orders of publication in newspapers

Summary

The bill makes the state auditor certify the validity of bearer and registered bonds issued by counties, cities, school districts and other local entities, so the bonds are presumed valid unless fraud is proved. It also overhauls how legal notices for elections and other public matters must be published, demanding notice in two newspapers of opposite political leanings, setting specific timing, and allowing mailed notice where newspapers are unavailable. The changes affect local governments, election officials, candidates, voters and newspapers.
