This bill amends sections 17-22-13 and 17-22-15 of 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 nonprofit organizations are not required to pay the annual license fee or any permit, inspection, or renewal fees. However, these organizations must still submit applications and provide all necessary information as required by the commissioner.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the application process for licenses and permits, including the requirement for a separate application for each advertising sign, display, or device. It maintains the existing structure for fees related to other types of advertising while ensuring that nonprofit organizations are treated differently in terms of financial obligations. The bill also outlines the process for revoking licenses and permits, ensuring that due process is followed in cases where false information is provided or regulations are violated.
