| 28 | - | The Outdoor Advertising Act regulates placement of advertising displays adjacent to and within specified distances of highways that are part of the national system of interstate and defense highways and federal-aid highways.

Pursuant to that authority, existing regulations only require the Department of Transportation to process an application for placing a new advertising display along a new alignment of an interstate or primary highway if the application is accepted on or after the date that the department accepts the highway project for the new alignment as complete.This bill would prohibit the department from denying or delaying the approval of a permit application for a new advertising display along a portion of a new alignment of an interstate or primary highway on the basis that the highway project has not been accepted as complete if the portion of highway is open to the use of the public for vehicular travel.Under existing law, the Department of Consumer Affairs is composed of various boards, bureaus, and commissions that license and regulate the practice of various professions and vocations.Existing law provides that these entities are established to ensure that those private businesses and professions deemed to engage in activities that have potential impact upon the public health, safety, and welfare are adequately regulated to protect the people of California, as prescribed.This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions. | |
