An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in nuisances, providing for the offense of late removal of campaign signage on public property; and imposing a penalty.
HB 292 creates a new offense for candidates or their representatives who fail to remove campaign signs from public property by the legally required deadline - either as set by local ordinance or within 10 days after an election. Violators face a minor offense penalty, including a $50-$300 fine and 5-30 hours of community service focused on removing campaign signs and litter. The law specifically targets political campaign signage on public property, directly affecting candidates and their agents during election cycles. It does not alter existing local signage rules but adds a statewide penalty for non-compliance after elections.
