This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to exempt nonprofit organizations from the fee requirements associated with obtaining licenses and permits for outdoor advertising. Specifically, it introduces new provisions stating that while nonprofit organizations must still submit applications and provide necessary information, they will not be required to pay the annual license fee or any permit fees, inspection fees, or renewal fees. This change aims to facilitate outdoor advertising for nonprofit entities by reducing their financial burden.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the application process for licenses and permits, ensuring that all applicants, including nonprofits, must provide accurate information and comply with existing regulations. It maintains the requirement for licenses to be renewed annually and outlines the process for revoking licenses or permits if false information is provided. Overall, the bill seeks to promote outdoor advertising opportunities for nonprofit organizations while maintaining regulatory oversight.
