The State of New Jersey has enacted P.L. 2025, c. 72, which updates the requirements for how municipalities and other local government entities publish official public notices.

Beginning January 1, 2026, municipalities, counties, boards of education, and special districts must publish public notices twice per month through December 31, 2026. These notices must include a direct link to the municipality’s official webpage where legal notices are posted. The published notice must also state that the complete text of each legal notice may be obtained or viewed on the public entity’s official website and provide the appropriate hyperlink.

Starting March 1, 2026, local governments are required to publish all legal notices on their official websites. While municipalities may continue to use print or online newspapers if they choose, website publication is mandatory. If a municipality uses an online news publication, it must prominently display a hyperlink to that publication on its municipal website.

Online newspapers that receive legal notices are required to publish them within 24 hours of receipt. The cost to publish online notices may not exceed the rate established under N.J.S.A. 35:2-1.

Residents can find all official public notices for the Township by visiting www.gtnj.org/notices. The page contains the full text of ordinances, meeting notices, bid advertisements, and other required legal publications.

The Township encourages residents to bookmark this page and check it regularly to stay informed about important local government matters. Additional updates will be shared as implementation of the new law progresses.
