Relative to the placement of political advertisements on public right-of-ways.
This bill, HB336, aims to regulate the placement of political advertisements on public right-of-ways. These are areas like streets, sidewalks, and parks that are accessible to everyone. The bill was introduced on January 8, 2025, by Judy Aron and has garnered support from a bipartisan group of sponsors.
If passed, the bill would affect candidates, political parties, and anyone placing political ads in public spaces by setting specific rules and guidelines. This could include restrictions on where and when ads can be displayed, aiming to maintain the public's right to a clean and uncluttered environment.
As of January 8, 2025, the bill has been introduced and referred to committee. On February 6, the committee reported that it was inexpedient to legislate, and on February 13, the House adopted a motion to not proceed with the bill. This means the bill is currently inactive and will not advance further in the legislative process for now.
