(1) (a) On or after January 1, 1993,
for all publicly supported legal notices or advertisements published in newspapers,
the rate paid for the first insertion of such notice shall not exceed forty-four cents
for each single-column line of six-point type and shall not exceed thirty-two cents
per line for each subsequent insertion. If the notice is set in larger type, the rate
shall be prorated. Regardless of the size of type the notice is set in, the rates
specified in this paragraph (a) are based on a single column measuring ten pica ems
wide. If the column width is either wider or narrower for a single column, the rate
per line shall be prorated on the ten pica em width.

(b) All emblems, display headings, rule work, and necessary blank space
shall be considered to be solid type. For the purpose of calculating the charge for
the items enumerated in this paragraph (b) only, the rate shall not exceed the line
rate charge figured at twelve lines per inch for each column inch or a proportional
amount for fractions of an inch.

(2) (a) On or after January 1, 1993, for all privately supported legal notices or
advertisements, the rate paid shall not exceed the newspaper's local classified
display line rate which is offered to commercial customers and shall include the
same frequency and volume discounts. The legal publication rate shall be published
in the newspaper's rate card.

(b) Notwithstanding any statute to the contrary, if any local government fee
set by statute is too low to permit the local government to recover the full cost of
publishing a privately supported legal notice or advertisement, the local
government may adjust the fee by the actual dollar amount necessary to recover
the full cost of the publication.

(3) Any contract providing for payment of a notice at a lesser sum than is
provided in this section shall be valid.

(4) Upon request by the party placing a legal publication, the newspaper
shall minimize the space required for publication of a valid and readable notice, but
in no case shall the type be less than six points.
