enabling municipalities to remove political signs from state-owned property located within the municipality after an election.
HB 1082 allows municipalities to remove political signs from state-owned property within their boundaries after election day. Specifically, it amends state law to permit local governments to clear such signs from state-owned land once the second Friday following an election has passed, if the signs remain after that deadline. This directly affects municipalities (which gain authority to remove signs) and candidates (who must remove their own signs by the deadline). The bill does not change the requirement for candidates to remove signs themselves by the second Friday after an election.
