South Dakota municipalities must designate an official newspaper for publishing legal notices, and this bill clarifies that the newspaper must meet requirements set out in state law (Chapter 17-2). The change allows municipalities to use newspapers published outside their borders if no local paper exists and the outside paper serves the community. The designation period remains at least twelve months, as determined by the municipality's governing body.
