Bill > HB0033

This bill amends laws concerning political signs by requiring clearer disclosure statements on advertisements, specifying that these statements must be easily readable on billboards and that smaller signs (under 24 by 18 inches) or signs clearly identifying a candidate and authorized by their campaign are exempt from certain disclosure rules. It also clarifies that attaching objects to political signs that obscure their message or alter their intent is prohibited, and that placing political signs on utility poles or traffic control devices is an infraction. The bill also defines "political sign" and outlines rules for posting them on public property, requiring neutrality and content neutrality in any restrictions, and allowing them on park strips under certain conditions. Furthermore, it establishes procedures for local governments to safeguard and dispose of political signs removed for violations, with the possibility of seeking reimbursement from the sign owner for costs if the owner repeatedly fails to retrieve signs.
