Changes approved for the publication of local government decisions in the media

Parliament passed new rules for how municipalities must publicize their decisions. Municipalities must post decisions on their websites and physical notice boards for at least five of the 10 days following a decision, and publish them in a local/regional media outlet (print or digital) within 30 days of the decision. Digital media outlets must be registered with the ERC and updated daily; print outlets must not be free-distribution and must be published at least monthly. The law includes provisions for using media in neighboring municipalities if no eligible local outlet exists.
