CA AB1175

Extends the deadline for off-premises advertising displays within former redevelopment agency project boundaries to remain classified as on-premises displays from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2026.

Eliminates the previous provision allowing extensions beyond January 1, 2023 upon a showing of good cause and removes requirements that advertising copy only promote businesses within the redevelopment project boundaries.

Removes the explicit requirement that displays be removed without compensation to owners or operators.

Requires displays to meet existing conditions including location within former project boundaries, construction on or before January 1, 2012, and compliance with federal highway funding restrictions under 23 U.S.C. Section 131.

Assigns primary responsibility to cities, counties, or city and counties to ensure displays remain in compliance and requires them to indemnify the California Department of Transportation for enforcement costs or legal defense if they fail to maintain compliance within 30 days of notice.
