Minnesota HF4797 allows online publication of public notices when no qualified newspaper is available.

Minnesota HF4797 amends state statutes to authorize online publication of public notices when no qualified newspaper is available. The bill specifies that if a political subdivision cannot find a qualified newspaper to publish required notices, it must post the information on its website and on the Minnesota Newspaper Association's statewide public notice website. The bill also allows publication in a qualified newspaper of general circulation if no qualified newspaper has its known office of issue within the political subdivision. The changes are effective the day following final enactment.
