General Municipal (GMU) CHAPTER 24, ARTICLE 13-E
§ 300. Municipal websites. 1. All municipal corporations having a
population, as shown by the latest preceding decennial federal census,
equal to or greater than one thousand five hundred persons, shall
maintain an official website with a ".gov" domain name that is
accessible to the public and update such website regularly, as follows:
the official website shall contain basic information on the municipality
including but not limited to hours of operations, elected officials and
services provided and the website shall contain a privacy policy that is
prominently posted and written in plain language that informs website
visitors of any personal information that is being collected and how it
is being used; provided however, that any municipal corporation having a
population, as shown by the latest preceding decennial federal census,
of less than one thousand five hundred persons, shall comply with the
provisions of this section to the extent practicable. For purposes of
this section, a municipal corporation that hosts its official website on
another municipal corporation's ".gov" Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
will satisfy this section's requirement to maintain an official website
with a ".gov" domain name.

this chapter;

meetings including regular board or legislative meetings;

d. an up to date version of, or an active hyperlink to, the
municipality's codes or local laws and resolutions; provided however,

latest preceding decennial federal census, of less than one thousand
five hundred persons, shall comply with the provisions of this section
to the extent practicable.
