The bill lets large arenas (15,000+ seats) that were built or under construction by Jan 1 2027 place up to two on‑site advertising displays without most of the Outdoor Advertising Act’s restrictions. To qualify, the signs must be approved by a local ordinance or similar plan by Jan 1 2032, follow detailed local rules on number, size, illumination, and distance, and cannot promote tobacco, firearms, or sexually explicit material. The state must also confirm the signs won’t affect federal highway aid.
