Bill > H3325

This bill provides incentives for businesses to remove billboards, signs, and other advertising devices that detract from or prohibit the full utilization of open space. It establishes the Massachusetts Open Space Protection Tax Credit, which allows businesses that agree to remove billboards to claim a credit of up to 75% of the removal costs and up to 50% of the estimated net earnings lost due to the removal, with a maximum credit of $50,000 per business per year. The bill also imposes new restrictions on the placement of billboards, such as requiring them to be located at least 500 feet away from public parks or reservations and limiting the number of billboards a single person can have.
