Sign Regulations Temporary Amendment Act of 2024
This bill temporarily amends local regulations to officially ratify and adopt a series of sign rules previously issued by city officials between 2014 and 2020. The law incorporates these specific rules into the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations, ensuring they remain in effect unless later changed or if emergency rules expire. It clarifies how sign rules are created and explicitly bans off-premises advertising, while also preventing criminal penalties for violations that occurred before November 2, 2022.
