Pennsylvania HB292 establishes penalties for candidates who fail to remove campaign signs from public property within the required timeframe.
HB292 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to create a new offense for candidates who do not remove campaign signs from public property by the date specified in local ordinances, but no later than 10 days after an election. Violators face a summary offense, resulting in a fine of $50 to $300 and 5 to 30 hours of community service picking up signs and litter. The term "candidate" is defined as an individual seeking nomination or election to public office by vote of the electorate. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
