Bill > SB291

This bill modifies provisions related to outdoor advertising along highways in Missouri, updating regulations for sign placement, size, lighting, and permitting. The bill allows outdoor advertising within 660 feet of highway right-of-ways in industrial, commercial, and unzoned areas, with specific guidelines for sign characteristics. Key provisions include restrictions on lighting (prohibiting rotating or flashing lights), establishing maximum sign dimensions of 800 square feet with a height of 30 feet, and setting spacing requirements between signs (no new sign structure within 1,400 feet of an existing sign on the same highway side). The bill also introduces changes to permit requirements, including a $200 permit fee that can be waived for landowners advertising their own business located within 750 feet of the sign. Additionally, the legislation establishes biennial inspection fees ranging from $50 to $100, with exemptions for certain organizations like religious, service, veterans', and fraternal groups. The bill aims to standardize outdoor advertising regulations while providing some flexibility for local business owners and community organizations.
