Undermines state law to remove non-conforming billboards by limiting replacement and repairs to 50% of value over the life of the sign. AB 496 will allow 4,500 existing billboards to remain forever.

This bill does little to remove nonconforming billborads and instead raises the annual limit for regular upkeep and maintenance of such signs.
