| IN RE: | HB987 by Isett, Carl (Relating to notice for changes in the regulation of outdoor advertising.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Texas Transportation Commission to give written notice to all outdoor advertising license and permit holders of any proposed change in rules related to outdoor advertising. The bill would require municipalities to give written notice to all outdoor advertising license and permit holders within its jurisdiction of any proposed change to the outdoor or off-premise advertising provisions of its zoning provisions, codes, or ordinances. The notice must be given not later than 30 days before the date of the hearing or meeting at which the proposed change is considered.
Based on the analysis of the Texas Department of Transportation, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect on September 1, 2007.
