    automatically transmit data from one (1) computer to another.

    (a)  Electronic publication may be in addition to the required printed
    publication in a newspaper; and
    (b)  Electronic publication may be made by newspapers having electronic
    publication capability. Nothing in this section shall be construed to
    require a newspaper to develop and maintain an electronic publication
    capability; and
    (c)  Newspapers may not charge an additional rate for electronic
    publication. Rates for such electronic publication shall be included in
    the rates for official notices as provided for in section 60-105, Idaho
    Code; and
    (d)  Any party placing a legally required public notice in electronic form
    should, to the greatest extent practicable, provide in such notices the
    messaging address of the newspaper and, if applicable, that of the person
    or governmental agency requiring such notice to be published.
