Advertising displays.

The Outdoor Advertising Act provides for the regulation by the Department of Transportation of advertising displays, as defined, within view of public highways. With the exception of products, goods, or services directed at an adult population, the act exempts from its provisions certain advertising displays in existence before January 1, 2009, at an arena located on public land with a capacity of 5,000 seats or more that provides a permanent venue for professional sports, and that advertises products, goods, or services that are or will be sold on the premise of the arena on a regular basis pursuant to an agreement of at least one year duration between the vendor or business and the property owner, facility owner, or facility operator. This bill would authorize the advertising displays at the arena to advertise certain food and beverage products directed at an adult population if they are consumed on the premises and the products were advertised prior to July 1, 2008, as specified.
