6) LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROCEDURES House Bill 195 PUBLICATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS Sponsor: Representative Jerry Miller (R-Louisville) HB 195 creates a new section of KRS 424.110 to 424.370 to authorize a county containing a population of 80,000 or more based on the most recent decennial census, including the county and any city, special district, school district, or special purpose governmental entity within the county, to post required legal advertisements online on a notice website operated by the local government in conjunction with a onetime newspaper advertisement providing notice that the public may view the full advertisement on the notice website. “Notice website” is defined to mean an internet website maintained by a local government, or a third party under contract with the local government, which contains links to the legal advertisements or notices electronically published by the local government. Publication of a legal advertisement shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the advertisement is posted on the notice website. The newspaper advertisement shall: • Be not more than 6 column inches and meet the technical requirements of KRS 424.160(1); • Be published within 10 days of posting on the notice website when the purpose of the posting is to inform the public of a completed act, including those acts specified in KRS 424.130(1)(a), or within three days of the posting when the purpose of the posting is to inform the public of the right to take a certain action, including events specified in KRS 424.130(1)(b) and (d); • Include the subject matter of the posting, the right of the public to inspect any documents associated with the posting by contacting the local government, a telephone number for the local government, and a physical and mailing address where a copy of the document may be obtained; and • Provide the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the notice website address where the full advertisement may be directly viewed.

6) LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROCEDURES A local government shall maintain legal advertisements on its notice website: (1) until the deadline passes or the event occurs; (2) for at least 90 days if the substance of the advertisement is to inform the public of an action taken by the local government, such as the enactment of an ordinance; or (3) for one year or until updated or replaced with a more recent version if the substance of the advertisement is intended to inform the public about the financial status of the local government, such as annual audits or the budget. Legal advertisements must be displayed prominently on the home page or first page of the notice website where the public can readily and with minimal effort identify and access the advertisements. The website must include a conspicuous statement that individuals who have difficulty accessing the contents of posted advertisements may contact the local government for information regarding access, including the telephone number of the local government. As proof of posting, the local government shall: (1) memorialize the posting by capturing the posting in electronic or paper format; and (2) complete an affidavit signed by the person responsible for causing publications under KRS 424.150 stating that the local government satisfied the publication requirement by alternative internet posting. The affidavit shall include the active dates of the alternative posting, the specific statutory requirements satisfied by the alternative posting, and the address of the notice website where the alternative posting occurred, including the URL used for the posting. The local government shall retain the captured posting and the affidavit for a period of three years. Together, the captured posting and the affidavit shall constitute prima facie evidence that the posting was made and occurred as stated within the affidavit. Failure to post a newspaper advertisement shall not void the action of the local government or negate the enforceability of the matter advertised by alternative internet posting. If a newspaper makes an error or fails in time or substance to meet publication requirements, the local government may remedy the error or failure by publishing the matter on its notice website. KRS 424.990 is amended to require any person who fails to publish the onetime newspaper advertisement to be fined not less than $50 nor more the $500. Any officer who fails to post required financial statements, budgets, or delinquent taxes shall be subject to a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500.
