CaPublicNotice.com progress report

In December 2021, the CNPA Board of Directors voted to approve a bylaw change that requires all adjudicated CNPA Members to post their public notices on their websites and on CaPublicNotice.com.

The statewide site preempts what at least 15 other states have been asked to construct by law. Currently, there are 43 press associations operating statewide public notice websites in 44 states in the U.S., according to the Public Notice Resource Center.

Postings to CaPublicNotice.com for this quarter to date total 40,573 notices from 197 California newspapers. But more than 100 adjudicated CNPA-Member newspapers are not onboard yet. Nor are more than 100 non-Member adjudicated flags.

CNPA continues to contact members that are yet to publish on CaPublicNotice.com as well as on their own websites. The purpose of the requirement is to advance the profession’s interest in the effective distribution of public information and ensure digital access to any notices published in the state by any member of the public that may be interested in them.

With CaPublicNotice.com, CNPA positions adjudicated newspapers as leaders in legal notice distribution.

Ready to get onboard? Here are some quick guides:

CaPublicNotice.com, owned by CNPA, provides a manual method to upload notices. The platform can provide added features for intake and functionality, such as a custom public notice dashboard on your website, with the support of Column, a CNPA Allied Member.
