CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 2784

Introduced by Assembly Member Cervantes

February 20, 2020

An act to amend Section 1978 of the Streets and Highways Code, relating to courtesy signs.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2784, as introduced, Cervantes. Courtesy signs: state or county highways.

Existing law authorizes county officials, with respect to any state or county highway within their respective jurisdictions and upon a resolution adopted by the respective county board of supervisors, to place and maintain, or cause to be placed and maintained, at or near the county line and at county expense, signs stating, or to add to their existing signs, the statement “Where We Honor Veterans.” Existing law requires the approval of the Department of Transportation if those signs are on a state highway.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that approval requirement.
