The bill amends R.S. 18:1470 to regulate political advertising on public property. It establishes a general prohibition against the erection, display, or posting of political campaign signs on publicly owned property, rights of way, and public utility poles. However, it introduces an exception that allows political campaign signs to be displayed at public school athletic facilities and gymnasiums, provided that the costs are covered by the political candidate or campaign.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the new provisions do not create exceptions to existing laws regarding prohibited acts during early voting or on election day. This legislative change aims to balance the need for political expression with the regulations governing public spaces.
