Local Government, General - As introduced, authorizes a local government to publish certain notices electronically online for the purposes of satisfying public notice requirements. - Amends TCA Title 1, Chapter 3 and Title 8, Chapter 44.

Summary

Starting July 1, 2027, a local government may satisfy the legal requirement to publish a public notice in a newspaper by posting the notice on an online platform. To do so, the government must first adopt an ordinance and a policy that set out how and which notices will be posted, ensure free public access, and meet security and record‑keeping standards. The law also permits third‑party websites to host these notices for a reasonable fee, but notices that the law specifically requires to appear in print must still be printed.
