To amend chapter 226, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to business signs.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 226, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 226.611, to read as follows:
226.611. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any business located in any county of the third or fourth classification may erect directional or on-premises signs on property adjacent to any state highway indicating the location of the business, provided that such signs are placed on the property on which the business is located or on any private property upon which the owner of the private property has given the business permission to erect a sign. No sign erected under this section shall be larger than ten feet wide and six feet high. All costs of erecting the sign shall be paid by the business. The signs shall be regularly maintained by the owner of the business, and the governing body of the county in which the sign is located may inspect the signs on a regular basis to determine whether the sign is appropriately maintained.
