LINCOLN- The Nebraska Press Association has launched a public website to provide greater public access and notification to the workings of all government entities and courts in Nebraska. The website — nepublicnotices.com — is a cooperative effort of all Nebraska newspapers and is managed through the NPA.

The free-access website was initiated in June. There are more than 90,000 notices on the site, with more posted each day. The notices are searchable by keyword, notice type, date, publication, county or city or village. After public notices appear in print in newspapers — as required by state laws — they are then uploaded by newspapers to the website within 24 to 48 hours of publication.

Dennis DeRossett, executive director of the Nebraska Press Association, said newspapers across Nebraska funded the development of the site, as well as all costs involved with hosting and maintaining it; there is no additional cost to any government entity or court for notices to appear on this website.
