HB1821 amends the Highway Advertising Control Act of 1971 by updating the sign registration and permit processes. It requires the Illinois Department of Transportation to adopt rules specifying the standards for sign registration. The bill mandates that signs located beyond 660 feet of the right-of-way, visible from the main-traveled way of the highway, must be registered with the Department within 90 days of the effective date. It also outlines the procedures for upgrading existing signs to multiple message signs with digital displays and specifies the fees associated with sign permits.
