AN ACT CONCERNING THE PUBLICATION OF MUNICIPAL LEGAL NOTICES IN NEWSPAPERS.
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 Section 1-2 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2013):
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 or daily newspaper, including, but not limited to, a weekly newspaper distributed free of charge to the residents of the town; but this section shall not be construed to reduce or otherwise affect the time required by law for giving such notice. For any such requirement for the insertion of an advertisement of a legal notice by a town, city or borough, a description of such advertisement containing a brief summary of the matter being noticed and a reference to the town's, city's or borough's Internet web site for additional information may be published in lieu of the full legal notice. Such additional information, including, but not limited to, any information otherwise required to be published in such legal notice, shall be posted in a conspicuous place on such web site. 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:
