Massachusetts H5486 allows digital publication of legal notices in Wayland, bypassing print requirements.
Massachusetts H5486 permits the town of Wayland to fulfill legal notice publication requirements through digital means, rather than print. The Select Board and School Committee can choose at least two digital methods, such as a local newspaper's website or a general news website, by majority vote. This change aims to adapt to the decline of local print newspapers. The bill does not alter the timing of publication as set forth in existing laws.
