STATUS: Awaiting hearing in House State Affairs
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
This proposed legislation allows for electronic publication on the state controller’s website for public notices (including public works projects) and other publications required by law. It directs the state controller to facilitate electronic publications in a staggered implementation schedule. It also directs the state controller to create the ability for users to subscribe and receive push notifications – including those filtered to a geographic location. Finally, it clarifies that notices sent through mail may be included in a regular mailing such as a utility billing.
LATEST NEWS:
1/21/25: Rep. Ehlers introduced this bill in House State Affairs this morning. This would allow government entities to publish required notices on the State Controller’s website instead of paying to have them placed in legacy newspapers. The committee voted to print the bill.
