Legislation Relating to Outdoor Advertising
House Bill 430 - Governor Nixon vetoed HB 430 on July 8, 2011, which would have imposed various billboard standards to billboards during periods of construction, and would have created a new classification of conforming out of standard. Since the Governor vetoed the bill, these provisions will not go into effect.
Senate Bill 77 - Governor Nixon signed SB 77 on July 11, 2011. This expands the types of directional signs which may be erected and maintained to include signs pertaining to cultural (including agricultural activities or attractions), scientific, educational, and religious sites. These provisions will go into effect on August 28, 2011
