CA AB840

Extends the authorization for off-premises advertising displays within former redevelopment agency project boundaries from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2028

Applies to advertising displays that were constructed on or before January 1, 2012 and were in use as of December 31, 2022

Allows qualifying displays to continue operating as "on-premises" displays despite advertising businesses located elsewhere within the former redevelopment project area

Maintains existing requirements that displays cannot cause reduction of federal highway aid funds, with $10,000 per day civil fines for non-compliance with federal removal notices

Local governments remain responsible for ensuring displays provide public benefit and must indemnify the Department of Transportation for enforcement costs if they fail to maintain compliance
