Prohibits the erection or maintenance of billboards advertising alcoholic beverages within 1000 feet of schools or playgrounds
This bill prohibits businesses from placing or maintaining billboards advertising alcoholic beverages within 1,000 feet of any public or private elementary or secondary school, or playgrounds adjacent to such schools. It defines "billboard" broadly to include any stationary advertising device (like signs, posters, or displays) meant to attract drivers or pedestrians. The law takes effect one year after enactment, directly affecting alcohol advertisers and billboard operators near school zones. It does not restrict other forms of advertising or apply to non-billboard signage.
