The Kentucky legislature has approved HB 328, a revised billboard control act to fix the previous law which a court invalidated.  Yesterday the House approved an amended version by 30-6, the Senate approved the amended version by 91-3 and the measure has been delivered to the Governor.  The bill amends Kentucky’s sign controls in a way that distinguishes rules based on whether a sign owner is compensated for a sign or not.  Federal Courts threw out Kentucky’s previous sign law because it used an on-premise/off-premise distinction to apply rules.

Insider’s take:  Another state fixes sign rules called into question by Reed Gilbert.  Insider expects Governor Andy Beshear to sign the bill in order to restore order to sign regulation in Kentucky.
