HR 4119 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Urges the Department of Transportation to adopt a five-year moratorium on new billboards when addressing proposals for rebuilding Interstate 70 and establishes a House Commission on Interstate 70 Beautification

This bill urges the Missouri Department of Transportation to pause new billboard installations and upgrades for at least five years while Interstate 70 is being rebuilt. It aims to reduce driver distraction and improve the visual appeal of the highway corridor by limiting commercial signage. Additionally, the bill calls for the creation of a House Commission to study strategies for enhancing the safety and scenic character of the I-70 route through landscaping and sign control. The measure directly affects roadside businesses, outdoor advertising companies, and the general public using the interstate.
