What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) erects

tourist-oriented directional signs to assist motorists traveling along highways.

Tourist-oriented directional signs provide identification of, and directional

information for, tourist-related businesses, services, or activities, which derive the

majority of their income or visitors during the normal business season from motorists

not residing in the immediate area where the business, service, or activity is located.

A tourist-oriented directional sign is available only for businesses, services, or

activities located within five miles from the highway on which the tourist-oriented

directional sign is erected.

Under this bill, a tourist-oriented directional sign is available for businesses,

services, or activities located within ten miles from the highway on which the

tourist-oriented directional sign is erected.
