SB 128
SB 128 modifies official newspaper designation requirements in South Dakota, potentially shifting where government publishes legal notices and paid announcements.
SB 128 amends South Dakota's requirements for what qualifies as an "official newspaper" for purposes of legal notices and public announcements. The bill modifies the criteria that newspapers must meet to be designated as official publications where government entities publish required notices, bids, and legal documents.
Official newspaper designations determine where taxpayer dollars are spent on mandatory public notices, which can represent significant revenue for local publications. Changes to these requirements can shift advertising contracts between newspapers and affect which outlets are responsible for making government information publicly accessible.
