SUMMARY:

Highway beautification. Prohibits the construction of new billboards on or after July 1, 1998. The trimming or cutting on highway rights of way of vegetation blocking motorists' view of billboards is prohibited except when performed by the Department of Transportation because the vegetation is diseased or damaged and presents a danger to other vegetation or to human health. The Commissioner of Transportation is also to revise the fee structure for billboards so that the full cost of administering the program will be covered by the fees.
