Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit "lewd public content" from being advertised anywhere in West Virginia.
AI Summary
This bill amends West Virginia law to prohibit "lewd public content" in outdoor advertisements, defining this term to include advertising for adult or exotic entertainment venues, images of people who are undressed or refer to being undressed, and sexually explicit language. The bill adds this prohibition to existing restrictions on outdoor advertising, which already govern aspects like motion, clarity of traffic signs, lighting, and proximity to public spaces. The term "lewd public content" is a new addition to the state's regulations concerning outdoor advertising, which broadly defines "sign," "display," and "device" to cover various forms of outdoor promotional material.
