Oversight assumes this proposal is permissive and would expand the regulatory authority over billboards to all cities and would have no state fiscal impact. Local governments would have no fiscal impact without action of their governing body. These costs would be expected to be minimal. This proposal would allow any city to regulate the height, spacing and lighting of billboards within the city. The regulations may be more strict than state law.
Current law is limited to cities having an engineer or similar official on the planning commission.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
