To regulate outdoor advertisements, specifically gentleman’s clubs

HB 2619 would prohibit outdoor advertisements in West Virginia from featuring "lewd public content," defined as content related to adult entertainment venues (including gentleman's clubs), images of people in undress, or sexually explicit language. The bill amends existing outdoor advertising laws to ban such content on all signs, displays, and devices, directly affecting businesses that use outdoor advertising for adult entertainment services. Introduced on February 19, 2025, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the bill would require advertisers to remove prohibited content from all outdoor advertising materials statewide. This is a content-based restriction, not a location-based one, applying broadly to all outdoor advertising formats.
