BILL NUMBER: S5319
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the county law, in relation to the publication of
local laws and notices
PURPOSE :
Authorizes counties to publish notice of county legislation action
which directs readers to the county internet web site for full text of
such Notices.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 214 of the county law is amended by adding a new subdivision 4
JUSTIFICATION :
This bill would allow counties the option to place local law, notices
or other matters, on its web site in it entirety, and not be required
to publish the full text of the law in an official newspaper. This
bill would authorize counties in lieu of publication of any entire
law, the option to publish an announcement that the law has been
passed, a summary of its content and state that the full context of
the law are available at the county's web site. This proposed process
of publication of government laws and actions will increase public
awareness, by allowing greater access, while simultaneously saving
counties significant money.
