To amend chapter 66, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to the powers of first class charter counties.
Section A. Chapter 66, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 66.410, to read as follows:

The governing body of any first class county with a charter form of government shall have the authority to place any restriction upon the height, spacing and lighting of outdoor advertising structures placed within the view of any highway within the county.
