INTRODUCED BY   Senator Calderon

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to amend Section 5440 of the Business and Professions Code,
relating to outdoor advertising.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 706, as introduced, Calderon. Outdoor advertising.
   Existing provisions of the Outdoor Advertising Act regulate the
placement of off-premise advertising displays along highways, which
displays generally advertise business conducted or services rendered
or goods produced or sold at a location other than the property upon
which the display is located. Unless specific exemptions apply, the
act generally prohibits advertising displays along landscaped
freeways.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 5440 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   5440.  Except as otherwise provided in this article, no
advertising display  may   shall  be placed
or maintained on property adjacent to a section of a freeway that
has been landscaped if the advertising display is designed to be
viewed primarily by persons traveling on the main-traveled way of the
landscaped freeway.
