CA AB2095

Requires public notices legally mandated to be published in newspapers of general circulation to appear in three places: the newspaper's print publication, the newspaper's internet website or electronic newspaper, and a statewide internet website repository maintained by a majority of California newspapers.

Permits newspapers without their own internet website to satisfy requirements by publishing on the statewide website and referencing it in their print publication notice.

Protects newspapers from liability for errors in online publication caused by internet website operator errors or temporary outages, provided the notice appears correctly in print and meets all other legal requirements.

Prohibits newspapers and the statewide internet website from charging fees specifically to access public notices online, though newspapers may charge for other content; prohibits additional fees for posting to the statewide website.

Exempts public notices from newspapers with five or fewer employees from online publication requirements until January 1, 2028, and prohibits the statewide website from selling or sharing consumer personal information for purposes outside this bill's scope.
