(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.
