By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TRENTON, N.J. — Dec 15, 2016, 12:01 PM ET
The Latest on New Jersey legislation to scrap a requirement that legal notices be published in newspapers. (all times local):
———
11:45 a.m.
A New Jersey Senate panel advanced legislation that would scrap a requirement that government agencies publish legal notices for public meetings, contract bids and other matters in newspapers.
The Senate government committee voted Thursday to advance the legislation without recommendation, which means senators could change their vote when it comes for a final vote, possibly by Monday. The Assembly is also weighing the bill Thursday.
Newspapers and political opponents of Republican Gov. Chris Christie say he is targeting media organizations over their coverage of him.
The governor's office and supporters say the bill could save local governments millions, but a cost estimate was not available Thursday.
