 Second Bill In Legislature To Ban Our Billboard
 First bill was to limit the parking of detatched mobile billboards. The second one prohibits mobile billboards near schools. Now they added in those towed by ANY vehicle. Make no mistake about it. They are limiting free speech options:

		| AB 1520, as introduced, Mendoza. Vehicles: mobile billboard
 advertising displays: local ordinances.
 Existing law authorizes a local authority to regulate mobile
 billboard advertising displays, including the establishment of
 penalties. Existing law further authorizes a peace officer, or a
 regularly employed and salaried public employee who is engaged in
 directing traffic or enforcing parking laws and regulations to remove
 a vehicle under specified provisions when the vehicle is a mobile
 billboard advertising display and is parked or left standing in
 violation of a local resolution or ordinance, if the registered owner
 of the vehicle was previously issued a warning citation for the same
 offense. For purposes of those provisions, existing law defines the
 term "mobile billboard advertising display" to mean an advertising
 display that is attached to a mobile, nonmotorized vehicle, device,
 or bicycle, that carries, pulls, or transports a sign or billboard,
 and is for the primary purpose of advertising.
 This bill would, for purposes of those provisions authorizing a
 local authority to regulate mobile billboard advertising displays,
 and authorizing the removal of a vehicle when the vehicle is a mobile
 billboard advertising display and is left standing in violation of a
 local resolution or ordinance, include within the definition of
 "mobile billboard advertising display" any advertising display that
 is attached to any vehicle that is required to be registered under
 the Vehicle Code that carries, pulls, or transports a sign or
 billboard, and is for the primary purpose of advertising.
 Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
 State-mandated local program: no.
