Bill Summary
Revises provisions for outdoor signs along state roads.
AI Summary
This bill revises Florida Statutes Chapter 479, which governs outdoor advertising, by amending definitions and procedures related to signs along state roads. Key changes include clarifying definitions for terms like "commercial or industrial parcel" and "unzoned commercial or industrial area," updating the Department of Transportation's (DOT) duties to align with federal regulations, and establishing new criteria for determining commercial and industrial zones for sign permitting. The bill also modifies rules regarding sign permits, including requirements for applications, fees, and the display of permit tags, and introduces provisions for handling nonconforming signs and the removal of illegal signs. Additionally, it addresses the relocation of signs when noise-attenuation barriers are constructed and updates the logo sign program to include RV-friendly markers. The bill also repeals a previous law and sets an effective date of July 1, 2013.
