House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Muscarello proposes amendments to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's (DOTD) administrative rules regarding outdoor advertising. The resolution aims to enhance public safety and preserve the scenic beauty of highways by increasing the spacing requirements for outdoor advertising signs, prohibiting stacked configurations of signs, and establishing regulations for nonconforming signs. Specifically, it mandates that no new structures with stacked displays can be erected after July 31, 2025, while allowing existing stacked signs to be maintained as legal nonconforming signs under certain conditions.

The resolution also modifies existing spacing regulations, increasing the distance between outdoor advertising signs and interchanges, intersections, and safety rest areas from 500 feet to 1000 feet outside incorporated areas. Additionally, it repeals a previous rule that established criteria for stacked sign structures and changeable message signs. The resolution directs the office of the state register to incorporate these amendments into the Louisiana Administrative Code, thereby ensuring that the updated regulations are officially recognized and enforced.
