1997 - 1998 LEGISLATURE
May 22, 1997 - Introduced by Representatives Baumgart and Morris-Tatum.
Referred to Committee on Small Business and Economic Development.
AB383,1,2
1An Act to create 84.30 (5) (e) and 84.30 (5m) of the statutes;
relating to: outdoor
2advertising of intoxicating liquor.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, outdoor advertising signs which are located along
interstates and certain other highways and which advertise activities conducted on
the property on which the signs are located are subject to certain restrictions as to
size, number and location. The department of transportation (DOT) is required to
pay just compensation whenever DOT relocates or removes any lawful outdoor
advertising sign.
This bill prohibits the advertising of intoxicating liquor on signs visible from
interstates and certain other highways, unless the sign is not larger than 20 square
feet in area, is attached to or within a building in which the advertised intoxicating
liquor is sold and is the only sign attached to or within that building advertising that
brand of intoxicating liquor. The bill authorizes DOT to remove, without
compensation, any sign that violates these restrictions.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
