clarifying the placement of advertising signs on state-owned property.

SB 45 clarifies rules for placing advertising signs on state-owned property, directly affecting political campaigns, advertisers, and local governments. It bans all advertising (including political) on state-owned public property, except on state rights-of-way with landowner consent (if not obstructing traffic). The bill requires political ads to be removed by candidates after elections (by the second Friday post-election), prohibits placement on utility poles or highway signs, and mandates that removed ads be stored for one week post-election for retrieval. The bill is currently inactive after being deemed "Inexpedient to Legislate" by committee in May 2025.
