§ 24-70-106 — Competency of newspapers - publication periods construed

(1)
Except as otherwise provided by law in express terms or by necessary implication,
daily, weekly, semiweekly, and triweekly newspapers shall all be equally competent
as the media for the publication of all legal notices and advertisements. Except
where the publication of any such legal notice or advertisement at intervals of less
than one week is required by law, publication once each week on the same weekday
in any such daily, weekly, semiweekly, or triweekly newspaper for the required
number of times shall constitute publication in accordance with the law.

(2) For the purpose of defining and clarifying ambiguities in the various
statutes requiring the publication of legal notices and advertisements, but not for
the purpose of increasing any period of publication or the number of publications
required by any statute, the meaning and intent of any law governing the
publication of legal notices and advertisements, except as otherwise expressly
provided, is declared to be as follows, where publication is required for:

(a) Ten days, publication once each week for three successive weeks in any
daily, weekly, semiweekly, or triweekly newspaper shall be sufficient;

(b) Two weeks, publication once each week for three successive weeks in
any daily, weekly, semiweekly, or triweekly newspaper shall be sufficient;

(c) Three weeks, publication once each week for four successive weeks in
any daily, weekly, semiweekly, or triweekly newspaper shall be sufficient;

(d) Four weeks, publication once each week for five successive weeks in any
daily, weekly, semiweekly, or triweekly newspaper shall be sufficient;

(e) Five weeks, publication once each week for six successive weeks in any
daily, weekly, semiweekly, or triweekly newspaper shall be sufficient;

(f) Thirty days, publication once each week for six successive weeks in any
daily, weekly, semiweekly, or triweekly newspaper shall be sufficient;

(g) More than thirty days or five weeks, publication once each week in any
daily, weekly, semiweekly, or triweekly newspaper for a period such that the
interval elapsing between the first and last publication shall be equal to the period
of publication prescribed by law shall be sufficient.
