Bill > HB3015

This bill amends the Highway Advertising Control Act of 1971 to create a specific exception to existing highway sign restrictions. Specifically, the bill allows businesses, such as gas stations, to erect advertising signs along both the eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 90 before Exit 25 (Genoa Road). Currently, the Highway Advertising Control Act generally prohibits signs from being erected or maintained along primary or Interstate highways, with only a few specific exceptions. By adding Section 4.09 to the existing law, this bill creates a new, localized exception to the sign restrictions for this particular stretch of Interstate 90, potentially providing more visibility for local businesses in that area. The bill maintains other existing restrictions on highway signage, such as prohibitions on signs that imitate traffic signs or are painted on natural surfaces like trees or rocks.
