AB 2099 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Advertising displays: customary maintenance.

Summary

The Outdoor Advertising Act regulates placement of advertising displays adjacent to and within specified distances of highways that are part of the national system of interstate and defense highways and federal-aid highways. The act prohibits limitations on the customary maintenance of a lawfully erected advertising display within the state by any governmental entity without payment of compensation, as specified. This bill would authorize, as part of customary maintenance, an activity performed for the purpose of maintaining an advertising display in its existing physical configuration, including, but not limited to, replacing structural members and using stronger materials, as specified.

What changed between versions

02/18/26 - Introduced → AB2099 · 1 edit

MINOR

No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The diff reflects only a change in document formatting: the first version uses the traditional legislative print format with line numbers and page headers, while the second is a web-scraped version from the California Legislature website that includes navigation elements and a different layout. The actual bill text defining 'customary maintenance' in Section 5208.3 of the Business and Professions Code is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from the official legislative print format (with line numbers, page headers, and structured layout) to a web-based presentation that includes site navigation elements (menus, search boxes, links) and a different typographic arrangement. No policy language was added, removed, or altered.
