MODERATE
This bill updates Oregon's outdoor advertising sign laws to clarify requirements for digital billboards, establish a credit exchange system for replacing signs with digital displays, and standardize permit documentation for landowner consent.
Scope change
The bill expands regulatory requirements specifically for digital billboards while maintaining existing rules for traditional outdoor advertising signs.
REQUIREMENT

New rules require applicants to exchange existing signs or relocation credits when replacing traditional signs with digital billboards, with specific credit ratios based on applicant size.

Landowner consent documentation now accepts leases or easements from prior landowners if they bind successors, expanding acceptable proof of consent.

New requirement mandates two permits for back-to-back or V-type digital billboard installations.

Digital billboard relocation credits can only be used to erect digital billboards, not for other outdoor advertising signs.

DEFINITION

Updated definitions for 'bulletin' and 'poster' signs to clarify display surface dimensions for digital billboard conversion requirements.
