Lawmakers Advance Bill To Address Public Notice Crisis
Create a Website Account - Manage notification subscriptions, save form progress and more. Senator Sarlo and Senate President Scutari have introduced legislation (S-3957) to address the publication of public notices in light of the recent Star Ledger announcement of an all-digital newspaper starting in February 2025. The bill is before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday. S-3957 would allow any newspaper used by a public body as the official newspaper from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, to still meet the definition of a newspaper under the law regardless... The League of Municipalities, along with the New Jersey Association of Counties (NJAC) and New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA) sent out a press release urging state leaders to take action on the looming... We urged the legislature to enact legislation before the January 2025 reorganization meetings that provide local governments with the following options to publish public notices:
1. In a clear and transparent manner on a local government’s official website; or, When we last reported on New Jersey, the state faced a public notice crisis triggered by the news that the Newhouse media empire’s Star-Ledger, the state’s largest and most significant newspaper, planned to shutter... 1, along with a sister publication and several affiliated newspapers. The state legislature temporarily suspended the crisis on the final day of 2024, when it enacted AB-5151, giving itself two months to amend the Garden State’s public notice laws and come up with a... AB-5151 stipulated that existing official newspapers would continue to serve as the state’s heralds of public notice, and that notices could be published in those newspapers’ print editions or posted on their websites until...
Several proposals to amend the state’s public notice laws have been introduced since then and a few others carried over from the 2024 session. The latest proposal, introduced late last week, is an extraordinary bill that was previously supported by the New Jersey Press Association (NJPA). It diverges in several key respects from standard practices that have been adopted in other states. NJPA President Audrey Harvin wrote to the association’s members on Jan. 21 to “strongly encourage” them “to reach out to your local legislators to support our bill. The bill # is S4064.”
An NJPA representative now tells us the version of S-4064 that was ultimately introduced “contains significant differences” from the association’s position and that it is no longer accurate to say the group supports the... Nevertheless, S-4064 contains provisions originally included in a proposal submitted last year by NJPA, and the group continues to support those elements of the bill. �4a���?�~�����9�O��]& �a�� �_�d���h�L�qf����f�)��pAX:$<��L: ����L R'�?�OG:LrL����� ��OaA�b���SLF"�?�����Ly�I2�� m�0Q�Tzlul�C5��@&d�,aM�ք/,�Ő���@eY�����+ �00K\��C ���AGPfY�`�0]r�`2b�e���R8��H��C4�O�8��4qc���TTd�So�I���BҬӶ�=�Y ��@O� Tw ��r��Ĵ?��/����b w�8�8!�* $`Qh,'�� ��xN��c����{��/�d�3q�8SW?_�0(�9���u5( ��8E����R�<ݙ/.oѤРI�¼,4*�Ҩ�4E��5��AI�b ���X���r��Z�?��!�|"��J��N �Xk�����]����A�Z�F� ��S����i������ϰ�K��'��n3��|��������Wo�,���-�r��T%v����\����E��6hː__O�;~,T'��L<�fhY�R��(8�$�榶���Nid�Q��i ���d]]}��UG��[�`�����t�C��=;�n�Y!-�rw�9�-�v��]��1H�ضf��̰����J��_'�� �Qt/2FF�ⅻ)�Yz���<�)��SJu�j��g��t��D��%r�@�����Bh2H��!�`p((g��y�\����D3r��n]6��.�V8~t���hp{��K]��B��)�@Wo�-#��Q��7E\]�< \��B���(���WT�WRE�^��| �kp�~O�*Ďׁ�%�D��h����%\AmBg�e�&h/�4���˛f��=�����l��8�t�`Hy�a�]*�e�J����m�ۖ� 2A}q����� ���� �a�9`���_���o"M���ߔ�6�����k�����Bl��ty�Z�L�P�N���:�{��{������X�F~\q���u���i���B�%d&�\ZS7��VʇyW�~� o:Ӟ��zey�0�'����,g�(� ����b-�1/.�a���m�͘���Ӱ#�h�Ҕ�é���w\1����x�����E�̢'C���m��۳5�!���rV`�z�hw�Ļ/�Jjx^�t)��9��0'U���l^�=�!��mr���#�z�m�@��|;�ёl�ϴب_�]���5����5��Yn��U�d������J� �� � ��a��o%P�ʃ vOa!�'�q���,�[V�����YB?3=����;����F�B�|�o?R9R�#���+�5���Y���a״6�}U��ٵ�5����������am�p@�����Ņ��{����Mߐ�&��apN��U����T�����Ӈ��� nY{c�����^ ���]�;B�NV���$(�/�.^��ue5�~gQ�T��"���$I��X܇y�:��>��JS�������=���d��8����:��Cc���b���\�~J��rt�D��^n��i�`{�Ȓ�y...

Phil Murphy signs the measure into law, it will relieve local governments from the looming public notice crisis. The status of newspaper notice in New Jersey was thrown into uncertainty when Advance Publications announced on Oct. 30 that early next year it plans to close a production facility and the print editions of several significant newspapers in the state, including the state’s largest paper, the Star-Ledger. Although it isn’t clear how many local government units were using the three daily papers and one weekly newspaper that will cease publication in the wake of Advance’s announcement, the scale of the closure’s... Warren County has been publishing its notices in the Star-Ledger even though the paper is based in Newark, which is located two counties and 63 miles from the county seat. Warren County’s lawsuit seeks a court order making the Star-Ledger website, NJ.com, its new official publication.

The county argues the Daily Record is ill-equipped to serve as its official newspaper because “its circulation is limited to 1,345 subscribers” and it reports on “only a minute slice of eastern Warren County.” Associations representing local governments in New Jersey renewed their calls to move official notice in the Garden State to their members’ websites. “Time is of the essence for state leaders to address New Jersey’s looming public notice crisis,” said the New Jersey League of Municipalities, the New Jersey Association of Counties, and the New Jersey School... The Globe also reported the government groups are “urging the legislature to take immediate action” by passing a law permitting notices to be published on local government websites or “in a database created and...
