This bill aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by introducing a prohibition on the advertisement of "lewd public content" throughout the state. The term "lewd public content" is defined to include any advertising related to adult or exotic entertainment venues, images of individuals in states of undress, and any language that references nudity or sexually explicit conduct. This new definition is inserted into the existing definitions section of the outdoor advertising regulations.

Additionally, the bill adds a specific restriction to the general regulations governing outdoor advertising, stating that no advertising device featuring "lewd public content" shall be displayed anywhere in West Virginia. This insertion reinforces the intent of the legislation to eliminate such content from public advertising spaces, thereby promoting a more family-friendly environment in the state.
