Outdoor advertising displays: redevelopment agency project areas.
- Extends authorization for certain outdoor advertising displays in redevelopment areas until January 1, 2029.
- Requires local governments to ensure displays provide public benefit and comply with federal highway regulations.
- Imposes $10,000 daily fines on display owners who fail to remove advertising after federal violation notices.
- Mandates cities and counties to cover state costs if they fail to enforce display regulations within 30 days.
Senator Rubio's outdoor advertising legislation extends the operating window for certain highway-adjacent advertising displays within former redevelopment agency project areas until January 1, 2029. The three-year extension applies to displays that were constructed before 2012, located within redevelopment project boundaries as they existed on December 29, 2011, and in active use as of December 31, 2022.
The bill maintains existing requirements for these displays to avoid reducing federal highway funding. Display owners must remove advertising content within 60 days of receiving notice from federal transportation authorities about potential funding impacts, with daily fines of $10,000 for non-compliance. Local governments retain primary oversight responsibility for ensuring displays provide public benefit and meet regulatory standards. Cities and counties that fail to address compliance issues within 30 days of notification must indemnify the Department of Transportation for any resulting enforcement or legal defense costs.
This extension preserves the current regulatory framework governing advertising displays in former redevelopment zones while maintaining federal funding safeguards and local government accountability measures. The Department of Transportation continues to hold enforcement authority under the Outdoor Advertising Act, though day-to-day monitoring remains with local jurisdictions.
