This bill makes numerous revisions to Missouri's billboard laws. The use of cutouts or extensions on conforming or nonconforming signs will be allowed. Currently, stacked signs are treated as conforming structures and allowed to be rebuilt once before they are considered nonconforming. No sign can be erected within 1,000 feet of an existing sign on all classes of highways on the National Highway System. Existing signs failing to meet the standard will be deemed legal nonconforming structures if the Federal Highway Administration and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission allow the use of temporary cutouts and extensions on nonconforming signs.
