HIGHWAYS: Creates Louisiana legislator district signs on highways and roads in the state (OR INCREASE SG EX See Note)

HB 693 would require Louisiana's Department of Transportation to place rectangular highway signs displaying each legislator's name and district number along state highways and roads. The bill allows the department to either manage the signs directly or contract with third parties for placement and maintenance, with fees collected from such contracts deposited into the DOT's budget as self-generated revenue. Signs must follow specific design rules established by the department, and all fees must be tracked and reported quarterly to the state. This legislation affects drivers encountering these signs and modifies how highway signage is funded and administered, without changing traffic laws or road construction standards.
