California AB840 allows outdoor advertising displays in redevelopment agency project areas to remain if they meet specific conditions.

California AB840 amends the Business and Professions Code to permit outdoor advertising displays in redevelopment agency project areas to continue operating if they were in use as of December 31, 2022, and meet certain criteria. These criteria include being located within the project boundaries, constructed before January 1, 2012, and not reducing federal aid highway funds. The applicable city, county, or city and county must ensure the display remains in conformance with the law. Failure to remove advertising copy after a federal notice results in a civil fine of $10,000 per day.
