CT HB07208

Municipalities may elect to publish brief legal notices in newspapers instead of full notices required under specified Connecticut General Statutes sections, provided timing and frequency requirements are still met (effective October 1, 2019)

Brief legal notices must include: subject matter description, relevant dates/times/locations (for meetings/hearings), polling hours (for referendums/elections), property addresses (for real property), or decisions (for applications), plus a website address, town clerk office address and hours, and a telephone number for requesting additional information

"Additional information" includes any content otherwise required to be published in a legal notice, and must be made available for public inspection at the town clerk's office and by mail at no charge

Newspapers publishing municipal legal notices must indicate in the newspaper's index each page on which legal notices appear (effective October 1, 2019)
