Current Bill Summary

SB 756 - This act allows third and fourth class cities and villages to publish their annual financial statements on their website rather than printing them in the paper. The statements must be posted for at least six months. The city or village shall also display a printed notice at city hall where other notices are displayed. If no website is available, the city may notify residents in writing or by email.

This act also allows political subdivisions and special districts to notify the public about election information on their website rather than printing it in the paper. They may also provide the information in a newsletter if one exists.

This act is similar to a provision of the perfected version of SS/SCS/HB 376 (2009).
