Jon Weber>BOISE (AP) Legislation to end the requirement that state agencies and local municipalities publish legal notices in newspapers headed to the full House on Thursday.
The House State Affairs Committee approved the measure that would eliminate a source of income for Idaho newspapers.
Republican Rep. Jon Weber sponsored the bill that has appeared in various forms in previous years but ultimately failed. Weber said the bill is needed to save government entities money. He said the various government entities could publish legal notices on their own websites.
