AB 2717: Outdoor advertising displays: exemptions.

The Outdoor Advertising Act provides for the regulation by the Department of Transportation of advertising displays, as defined, within view of public highways. The act exempts from most of its provisions certain advertising displays, including, among others, any advertising display used exclusively to advertise products, goods, or services sold by persons on the premises of an arena on a regular basis, or to advertise products, goods, or services marketed or promoted on the premises of an arena pursuant to a sponsorship marketing plan, if specified conditions are met, including, among others, that the advertising display has been authorized as of January 1, 2021, by, or in accordance with, a local ordinance, as specified.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact future legislation exempting certain advertising displays that have been authorized by, or in accordance with, a local ordinance on or after January 1, 2021, from the Outdoor Advertising Act.
