Bill > SB417

This bill modifies Oregon's laws regarding outdoor advertising signs, specifically addressing digital billboards and permit requirements. The bill simplifies the process for converting existing outdoor advertising signs to digital billboards by requiring an applicant to either remove one existing outdoor advertising sign and retire its permit or retire one relocation credit, regardless of the number of relocation credits they currently possess. The previous law had complex provisions based on the percentage of relocation credits an owner held and the size of the signs. The bill also clarifies landowner consent requirements for sign permits, allowing consent to be demonstrated through leases, easements, or other documents signed by current or prior landowners if those documents are binding on successors. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions about permit renewal, cancellation, and other administrative details related to outdoor advertising signs. The changes aim to streamline the process for digital billboard conversion and provide more flexibility in obtaining permits while maintaining regulatory oversight of outdoor advertising signs along Oregon's highways.
