SB 615 - This act prohibits adult cabaret or sexually-
oriented billboards from being located within one mile of a state
highway. This prohibition will not apply if the business is
located within one mile of the highway. If the adult cabaret or
sexually-oriented business is located within one mile of the
state highway, then the business can display a maximum of two
exterior signs on the premises of the business. The signs are
limited to the purpose of conveying identification and providing
notice that the premises are off limits to minors. The
identification sign is limited to 40 square feet and can only
convey the name, address, telephone number and operating hours of
the business. Signs existing before the effective date of this
act do not have to comply for a period of three years. Business
owners who violate this act are guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.
