Section 5. The Notice By Publication Act is amended by changing Section 2 as follows:

(715 ILCS 5/2) (from Ch. 100, par. 2)

Sec. 2. Whenever an officer of a court, unit of local government, or school district is required by law to give notice by publication in a newspaper which is published in a particular unit of local government or school district, he shall, if there is no newspaper which is published in the unit of local government or school district, give notice by publication in a newspaper published in the county or an adjacent county in which the unit of local government or school district is located and having general circulation within the unit of local government or school district. If there is no newspaper published in the county or an adjacent county in which the unit of local government or school district is located, notice by publication in a newspaper shall be given in a secular newspaper, as defined in this Act, published in an adjoining county having general circulation within the unit of local government or school district.
