Bill summary

Enacts new GS 160A-81.2 (cities) and new GS 153A-52.2 (counties) to allow cities and counties to adopt ordinances providing that any notice the local government is required by law to publish may be published on the local government’s website, as specified. Lists the following mandatory requirements for published notice: (1) the notice is published on the local government’s website no later than the required time; (2) the website contains links to all notices or a link to another page with links to all notices on the main page; (3) notices and links must be maintained on the website for at least one year after publication; and (4) the local government must print a copy of the notice and file it in the notice book. Details additional provisions related to publishing notice.
Enacts new GS 160A-78.1 and GS 153A-48.1 to require the local government to file a true copy of each published notice in a notice book separate from the ordinance book or minute book in the designated office.
Amends GS 159-1(b)(5) to make a conforming change to the definition for publish in the Local Government Finance Act. Repeals SL 2003-81, 2003-161, 2007-86, and 2008-5 (providing for electronic notice in several local governments), but specifies that any ordinance adopted under those acts remains valid until amended or repealed.
Effective October 1, 2011.
