Bill Summary
To amend section 5516.03 of the Revised Code to allow authorized advertising devices to be placed closer to interstate, national, and primary highway system interchanges.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow advertising devices to be placed closer to highway system interchanges, specifically those on the interstate system or primary system, by changing the minimum required distance from an interchange to four hundred feet. The director of transportation is responsible for adopting and enforcing rules related to outdoor advertising, including aspects like sizing, lighting, and spacing, to ensure public safety and align with national policy. These rules are intended to supplement, not replace, municipal ordinances that regulate advertising devices, as long as those ordinances are consistent with the director's rules.
