On June 30, 2025, Governor Phil Murphy signed S-4654 into law, which amends the legal notice requirements under the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA). In particular, the law makes several key changes:
- Beginning March 1, 2026, public entities must publish their legal notices on their website, rather than in the newspapers.
- Notices must appear on the public entities' websites for at least one week and then must be archived for one year.
- Public entities are required to send their website link to the Secretary of State for inclusion on the Secretary of State's website.
- Until March 1, 2026, public entities can comply with OPMA either by posting notices in a newspaper or on their website.
- For the duration of the calendar year 2026, public entities must advertise twice per month in an online news publication that provides information about where their legal notices can be obtained on the public entity's website.
Beginning January 1, 2026, all forthcoming legal notices will be published on this page in accordance with the amended requirements of the Open Public Meetings Act.
