Committee clears illegal-signage enforcement bill after technical edits
Summary
CB44 strengthens enforcement against illegal signs and objects on county rights‑of‑way and requires utilities to remove illegal signage from their infrastructure; committee approved a technical amendment to remove language that would have tried to impose an evidentiary standard on state courts, then advanced the bill favorably.
Chair Oriaga introduced CB44, the Illegal Signage Enforcement Act of 2026, aimed at strengthening enforcement against illegal signs and objects in county rights‑of‑way and increasing fines to deter persistent illegal placement. Josh Hamlin, staff member, said the Office of Law pointed out language that would have improperly attempted to impose an evidentiary standard on a state court; the amendment deletes that language without changing the bill's substance.
The committee moved the technical amendment and then CB44 as amended, with roll calls recorded in the transcript as carrying unanimously in committee. The committee's action leaves the bill positioned for a public hearing and later council consideration.
