AL HB250

Amends the definition of "business area" by removing the phrase "at any time" to clarify that only areas currently zoned for business, industrial, or commercial activities qualify for outdoor advertising purposes.

Adopts the federal definition of "primary highway" to include highways designated as part of the federal-aid primary system as of June 1, 1991, and any highways that are or become part of the National Highway System.

Revises spacing requirements for outdoor advertising signs to align with the February 10, 1972 Agreement between the United States Department of Transportation and the Alabama Department of Transportation.

Maintains sign size and lighting restrictions while updating spacing standards for different highway types, distinguishing between interstate highways, freeway primary highways, and non-freeway primary highways in incorporated and unincorporated areas.

Becomes effective immediately upon passage and gubernatorial approval.
