Existing law, the Outdoor Advertising Act, requires a person to secure a written permit from the Director of Transportation or the director’s authorized agent before placing an advertising display adjacent to an interstate highway or primary highway, and requires a person desiring a permit to file an application with the director or the director’s authorized agent. The act requires a person to have a license from the director before engaging in, or carrying on, the business or occupation of outdoor advertising, and requires the application for a license to be made on a form furnished by the director. The act requires the director to furnish requisite forms for those applications, licenses, and permits.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provision requiring the director to furnish those requisite forms.
The director shall furnish requisite forms for applications, licenses, and permits provided for in this chapter and may appoint a representative or agent in each of the counties throughout the state for the purpose of issuing the licenses and permits and collecting fees therefor as provided in this chapter. The agent or representative, in the discretion of the director, may be the county clerk in each county.
In the event of the appointment of the county clerk in any county by the director, the county clerk shall so act. Upon the issuance of any such license or permit by the authorized agent of the director, the agent shall immediately forward a copy thereof to the
director.
