Highways: signs; right-of-way access for billboard owners; provide for. Amends sec. 17b of 1972 PA 106 (MCL 252.317b).

This bill modifies Michigan's Highway Advertising Act to clarify rules about billboard owners crossing limited-access highways to install or maintain signs. It requires permits for anyone crossing these roadways to erect or maintain signs, but allows exceptions when the property is only accessible by crossing the highway. The legislation also establishes penalties, including fines and sign removal, for violating these permit requirements. Directly affected parties include sign owners, their agents, and property owners who maintain signs on their land. The bill aims to streamline enforcement while ensuring exceptions exist for properties with no alternative access routes.
