Bill > SB984

This bill amends the Highway Advertising Control Act of 1972 by updating and expanding the definitions related to outdoor advertising, specifically adding a comprehensive definition for "playground" and restructuring the existing definitions into a more organized numerical format. The bill provides detailed explanations for terms such as "sign", "main traveled way", "unzoned commercial or industrial areas", and "commercial and industrial activities", among others. The changes include clarifying what constitutes a commercial or industrial activity, refining measurements and boundaries for sign placement, and adding specific language about urban areas, permits, and licensing. Notable additions include a precise definition of "playground" as an outdoor space with permanently affixed equipment primarily used by children, excluding playground equipment on commercial or private residential properties. The bill maintains the existing regulatory framework for highway advertising while providing more precise and comprehensive terminology. The amendments will become effective on November 1, 2025, giving stakeholders ample time to understand and implement the updated definitions and guidelines.
