SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Removal of nonconforming abandoned signs. Provides that any locality may, by ordinance, require certain abandoned nonconforming signs to be removed by the owner of the property on which the signs are located, if notified by the locality to do so. If, following such two-year period, the locality has made a reasonable attempt to notify the property owner, the locality through its own agents or employees may enter the property upon which the sign is located and remove any such sign whenever the owner has refused to do so. The cost of such removal shall be chargeable to the owner of the property.
