AN ACT CONCERNING THE ADVERTISEMENT OF LEGAL NOTICES ON MUNICIPAL INTERNET WEB SITES.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

Section 1. Section 1-2 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2017):

Each provision of the general statutes, the special acts or the charter of any town, city or borough which requires the insertion of an advertisement of a legal notice in a daily newspaper shall be construed to permit such advertisement to be inserted in a weekly newspaper or, if such provision applies to a town, city or borough, posted on the Internet web site of such town, city or borough; but this section shall not be construed to reduce or otherwise affect the time required by law for giving such notice. Whenever notice of any action or other proceeding is required to be given by publication in a newspaper, either by statute or order of court, the newspaper selected for that purpose, unless otherwise expressly prescribed, shall be one having a substantial circulation in the town in which at least one of the parties, for whose benefit such notice is given, resides.

This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections:
Section 1	July 1, 2017	1-2

To permit the posting of advertisements of legal notices on municipal Internet web sites.
