7 2. A personal delivery device may not be operated on the
8 Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network created under s.
9 339.81 or components of the Florida Greenways and Trails System
10 created under chapter 260 or in state forests, state parks, or
11 wildlife management areas.

18 center or facility as defined in s. 985.03.
19 (c) A county or municipality may not enact, impose, levy,

26 Section 7. Paragraph (a) of subsection (1) and subsection
27 (3) of section 316.126, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
28 316.126 Operation of vehicles and actions of pedestrians;
29 approach of authorized emergency, sanitation, or utility service
30 vehicle, wrecker, or road and bridge maintenance or construction
31 vehicle; presence of disabled motor vehicle.—
32 (1)(a) Upon the immediate approach of an authorized
33 emergency vehicle, while en route to meet an existing emergency,
34 the driver of every other vehicle shall, when such emergency
35 vehicle is giving audible signals by siren, exhaust whistle, or
36 other adequate device, or visible signals by the use of
37 flashing, oscillating, rotating, or similarly activated
38 displayed blue or red lights, yield the right-of-way to the
39 emergency vehicle and shall immediately proceed to a position
40 parallel to, and as close as reasonable to the closest edge of

56 displayed blue or red lights. While en route to such emergency,
57 the emergency vehicle shall otherwise proceed in a manner
58 consistent with the laws regulating vehicular traffic upon the
59 highways of this state.

151 except that a credit may be given if a registrant is required by
152 the department to replace a license plate under s.
153 320.08056(8)(a). With each license plate, a validation sticker
154 shall be issued showing the owner’s birth month, license plate

229 political subdivision may enforce minimum setback and
230 landscaping regulations that are generally applicable to
231 permitted uses in the applicable drone port site’s zoning
232 district. This paragraph may not be construed to authorize a
233 political subdivision to require additional landscaping as a
234 condition of approval of a drone delivery service on a
235 commercial property port.

250 of the major theme park or entertainment complex to the owner or
251 operator of the drone delivery device.
252 (e) The addition of a drone delivery service within the
253 parking area of a commercial property does not reduce the number
254 of parking spaces in the parking area for the purpose of
255 complying with any requirement for a minimum number of parking
256 spaces.

284 section 332.0075, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as

368 Section 21. Section 334.64, Florida Statutes, is created to
369 read:
370 334.64 Department to serve as primary point of contact for

390 Section 22. Paragraphs (a) and (i) of subsection (3) and
391 paragraphs (b), (d), and (r) of subsection (7) of section
392 337.401, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
393 337.401 Use of right-of-way for utilities subject to
394 regulation; permit; fees.—
395 (3)(a) Because of the unique circumstances applicable to
396 providers of communications services, including, but not limited
397 to, the circumstances described in paragraph (e) and the fact
398 that federal and state law require the nondiscriminatory
399 treatment of providers of telecommunications services, and
400 because of the desire to promote competition among providers of
401 communications services, it is the intent of the Legislature
402 that municipalities and counties treat providers of
403 communications services in a nondiscriminatory and competitively
404 neutral manner when imposing rules or regulations governing the
405 placement or maintenance of communications facilities in the
406 public roads or rights-of-way. Rules or regulations imposed by a
407 municipality or county relating to providers of communications
408 services placing or maintaining communications facilities in its
409 roads or rights-of-way must be generally applicable to all
410 providers of communications services, taking into account the
411 distinct engineering, construction, operation, maintenance,
412 public works, and safety requirements of the provider’s
413 facilities, and, notwithstanding any other law, may not require
414 a provider of communications services to apply for or enter into
415 an individual license, franchise, or other agreement with the
416 municipality or county as a condition of placing or maintaining
417 communications facilities in its roads or rights-of-way. In
418 addition to other reasonable rules or regulations that a
419 municipality or county may adopt relating to the placement or
420 maintenance of communications facilities in its roads or rights
421 of-way under this subsection or subsection (7), a municipality
422 or county may require a provider of communications services that
423 places or seeks to place facilities in its roads or rights-of
424 way to register with the municipality or county. To register, a
425 provider of communications services may be required only to
426 provide its name; the name, address, and telephone number of a
427 contact person for the registrant; the number of the
428 registrant’s current certificate of authorization issued by the
429 Florida Public Service Commission, the Federal Communications
430 Commission, or the Department of State; a statement of whether
431 the registrant is a pass-through provider as defined in
432 subparagraph (6)(a)1.; the registrant’s federal employer
433 identification number; and any required proof of insurance or
434 self-insuring status adequate to defend and cover claims. A
435 municipality or county may not require a registrant to renew a
436 registration more frequently than every 5 years but may require
437 during this period that a registrant update the registration
438 information provided under this subsection within 90 days after
439 a change in such information. A municipality or county may not
440 require the registrant to provide an inventory of communications
441 facilities, maps, locations of such facilities, or other
442 information by a registrant as a condition of registration,
443 renewal, or for any other purpose; provided, however, that a
444 municipality or county may require as part of a permit
445 application that the applicant identify at-grade communications
446 facilities within 50 feet of the proposed installation location
447 for the placement of at-grade communications facilities. A
448 municipality or county may not require that a provider locate or
449 perform a survey of any facilities except its own or any right
450 of-way boundary when requesting a permit consistent with chapter
451 556. If the owner of a facility fails to locate their facilities
452 as required under chapter 556, a provider may proceed with the
453 work but must use reasonable care and detection equipment or
454 other acceptable means to avoid damaging existing underground
455 facilities. A municipality or county may not require a provider
456 to pay any fee, cost, or other charge for registration or
457 renewal thereof. A municipality or county may not limit the
458 number of permits in any way, including by project size or by
459 limiting the number of open permits or applications, provided
460 that the permit is closed out within 45 days after the
461 provider’s completion of work. A municipality or county may
462 require the submission or maintenance of a bond or other
463 financial instrument as set out in this section but may not
464 require a cash deposit or other escrow, payment, or exaction as
465 a condition of issuing a permit. It is the intent of the
466 Legislature that the placement, operation, maintenance,
467 upgrading, and extension of communications facilities not be
468 unreasonably interrupted or delayed through the permitting or
469 other local regulatory process. Except as provided in this
470 chapter or otherwise expressly authorized by chapter 202,
471 chapter 364, or chapter 610, a municipality or county may not
472 adopt or enforce any ordinance, regulation, or requirement as to
473 the placement or operation of communications facilities in a
474 right-of-way by a communications services provider authorized by
475 state or local law to operate in a right-of-way; regulate any
476 communications services; or impose or collect any tax, fee,
477 cost, charge, or exaction for the placement of communications
478 facilities or the provision of communications services over the
479 communications services provider’s communications facilities in
480 a right-of-way.
481 (i) Except as expressly provided in this section, this
482 section does not modify the authority of municipalities and
483 counties to levy the tax authorized in chapter 202 or the duties
484 of providers of communications services under ss. 337.402
485 337.404. This section does not apply to building permits, pole
486 attachments, or private roads, private easements, and private
487 rights-of-way, or building permits unrelated to the placement of
488 communications facilities.

612 shall accept applications for permits and shall process and
613 issue permits subject to the following requirements:
614 1. An authority may not directly or indirectly require an
615 applicant to perform services unrelated to the collocation for
616 which approval is sought, such as in-kind contributions to the
617 authority, including reserving fiber, conduit, or pole space for
618 the authority.
619 2. An applicant may not be required to provide more
620 information to obtain a permit than is necessary to demonstrate
621 the applicant’s compliance with applicable codes for the
622 placement of small wireless facilities in the locations
623 identified in the application. An applicant may not be required
624 to provide inventories, maps, or locations of communications
625 facilities in the right-of-way other than as necessary to avoid
626 interference with other at-grade or aerial facilities located at
627 the specific location proposed for a small wireless facility or
628 within 50 feet of such location.
629 3. An authority may not:
630 a. Require the placement of small wireless facilities on
631 any specific utility pole or category of poles;
632 b. Require the placement of multiple antenna systems on a
633 single utility pole;
634 c. Require a demonstration that collocation of a small
635 wireless facility on an existing structure is not legally or
636 technically possible as a condition for granting a permit for
637 the collocation of a small wireless facility on a new utility
638 pole except as provided in paragraph (i);
639 d. Require compliance with an authority’s provisions
640 regarding placement of communications facilities, including
641 small wireless facilities or a new utility poles pole used to
642 support a small wireless facilities, facility in rights-of-way
643 under the control of the department unless the authority has
644 received a delegation from the department for the location of
645 the small wireless facility or utility pole;, or require such
646 compliance as a condition to receive a permit that is ancillary
647 to the permit for collocation of a small wireless facility,
648 including an electrical permit;
649 e. Require a meeting before filing an application;
650 f. Require direct or indirect public notification or a
651 public meeting for the placement of communication facilities in
652 the right-of-way;
653 g. Limit the size or configuration of a small wireless
654 facility or any of its components, if the small wireless
655 facility complies with the size limits in this subsection;
656 h. Prohibit the installation of a new utility pole used to
657 support the collocation of a small wireless facility if the
658 installation otherwise meets the requirements of this
659 subsection; or
660 i. Require that any component of a small wireless facility
661 be placed underground except as provided in paragraph (i); or
662 j. Require compliance with provisions regarding the
663 placement of communications facilities, including small wireless
664 facilities or new utility poles used to support small wireless
665 facilities, in rights-of-way not owned and controlled by the
666 authority and public utility easements that are within areas not
667 owned and controlled by the authority unless a permit delegation
668 agreement exists between the authority and the owner of the
669 right-of-way or area that contains the public utility easement.
670 4. Subject to paragraph (r), an authority may not limit the
671 placement, by minimum separation distances, of small wireless
672 facilities, utility poles on which small wireless facilities are
673 or will be collocated, or other at-grade communications
674 facilities. However, within 14 days after the date of filing the
675 application, an authority may request that the proposed location
676 of a small wireless facility be moved to another location in the
677 right-of-way and placed on an alternative authority utility pole
678 or support structure or placed on a new utility pole. The
679 authority and the applicant may negotiate the alternative
680 location, including any objective design standards and
681 reasonable spacing requirements for ground-based equipment, for
682 30 days after the date of the request. At the conclusion of the
683 negotiation period, if the alternative location is accepted by
684 the applicant, the applicant must notify the authority of such
685 acceptance and the application shall be deemed granted for any
686 new location for which there is agreement and all other
687 locations in the application. If an agreement is not reached,
688 the applicant must notify the authority of such nonagreement and
689 the authority must grant or deny the original application within
690 90 days after the date the application was filed. A request for
691 an alternative location, an acceptance of an alternative
692 location, or a rejection of an alternative location must be in
693 writing and provided by electronic mail.
694 5. An authority shall limit the height of a small wireless
695 facility to 10 feet above the utility pole or structure upon
696 which the small wireless facility is to be collocated. Unless
697 waived by an authority, the height for a new utility pole is
698 limited to the tallest existing utility pole as of July 1, 2017,
699 located in the same right-of-way, other than a utility pole for
700 which a waiver has previously been granted, measured from grade
701 in place within 500 feet of the proposed location of the small
702 wireless facility. If there is no utility pole within 500 feet,
703 the authority shall limit the height of the utility pole to 50
704 feet.
705 6. The installation by a communications services provider
706 of a utility pole in the public rights-of-way, other than a
707 utility pole used to support a small wireless facility, is
708 subject to authority rules or regulations governing the
709 placement of utility poles in the public rights-of-way.
710 7. Within 14 days after receiving an application, an
711 authority must determine and notify the applicant by electronic
712 mail as to whether the application is complete. If an
713 application is deemed incomplete, the authority must
714 specifically identify the missing information. An application is
715 deemed complete if the authority fails to provide notification
716 to the applicant within 14 days.
717 8. An application must be processed on a nondiscriminatory
718 basis. A complete application is deemed approved if an authority
719 fails to approve or deny the application within 60 days after
720 receipt of the application. If an authority does not use the 30
721 day negotiation period provided in subparagraph 4., the parties
722 may mutually agree to extend the 60-day application review
723 period. The authority shall grant or deny the application at the
724 end of the extended period. A permit issued pursuant to an
725 approved application shall remain effective for 1 year unless
726 extended by the authority.
727 9. An authority must notify the applicant of approval or
728 denial by electronic mail. An authority shall approve a complete
729 application unless it does not meet the authority’s applicable
730 codes. If the application is denied, the authority must specify
731 in writing the basis for denial, including the specific code
732 provisions on which the denial was based, and send the
733 documentation to the applicant by electronic mail on the day the
734 authority denies the application. The applicant may cure the
735 deficiencies identified by the authority and resubmit the
736 application within 30 days after notice of the denial is sent to
737 the applicant. The authority shall approve or deny the revised
738 application within 30 days after receipt or the application is
739 deemed approved. The review of a revised application is limited
740 to the deficiencies cited in the denial. If an authority
741 provides for administrative review of the denial of an
742 application, the review must be complete and a written decision
743 issued within 45 days after a written request for review is
744 made. A denial must identify the specific code provisions on
745 which the denial is based. If the administrative review is not
746 complete within 45 days, the authority waives any claim
747 regarding failure to exhaust administrative remedies in any
748 judicial review of the denial of an application.
749 10. An applicant seeking to collocate small wireless
750 facilities within the jurisdiction of a single authority may, at
751 the applicant’s discretion, file a consolidated application and
752 receive a single permit for the collocation of up to 30 small
753 wireless facilities. If the application includes multiple small
754 wireless facilities, an authority may separately address small
755 wireless facility collocations for which incomplete information
756 has been received or which are denied.
757 11. An authority may deny an application to collocate a
758 small wireless facility or place a utility pole used to support
759 a small wireless facility in the public rights-of-way if the
760 proposed small wireless facility or utility pole used to support
761 a small wireless facility:
762 a. Materially interferes with the safe operation of traffic
763 control equipment.
764 b. Materially interferes with sight lines or clear zones
765 for transportation, pedestrians, or public safety purposes.
766 c. Materially interferes with compliance with the Americans
767 with Disabilities Act or similar federal or state standards
768 regarding pedestrian access or movement.
769 d. Materially fails to comply with the 2017 edition of the
770 Florida Department of Transportation Utility Accommodation
771 Manual.
772 e. Fails to comply with applicable codes.
773 f. Fails to comply with objective design standards
774 authorized under paragraph (r).
775 12. An authority may adopt by ordinance provisions for
776 insurance coverage, indemnification, force majeure, abandonment,
777 authority liability, or authority warranties. Such provisions
778 must be reasonable and nondiscriminatory and apply to all
779 providers of communications services, including, if applicable,
780 any local government or nonprofit providers. An authority may
781 require a construction bond to secure restoration of the
782 postconstruction rights-of-way to the preconstruction condition.
783 However, such bond must be time-limited to not more than 18
784 months after the construction to which the bond applies is
785 completed, and such bond must be reasonably related to the cost
786 to secure restoration of the rights-of-way. An authority may not
787 limit the number of permits allowed under the same bond. For any
788 financial obligation required by an authority allowed under this
789 section, the authority may not limit the number of permits in
790 any way, including by project size or by limiting the number of
791 applications or open permits, provided that the permit is closed
792 out within 45 days after the provider’s completion of work; may
793 not impose additional requirements based on the scope or linear
794 feet of the project; and shall accept, at the option of the
795 applicant, a bond or a letter of credit or similar financial
796 instrument issued by any financial institution that is
797 authorized to do business within the United States and, provided
798 that a claim against the financial instrument may be made by
799 electronic means, including by facsimile. An authority may not
800 require a deposit or escrow of cash as a condition of issuing a
801 permit or compel the applicant to agree to any additional terms
802 or agreements not specifically authorized by this act or
803 directly related to the work set out in the application. A
804 provider of communications services may add an authority to any
805 existing bond, insurance policy, or other relevant financial
806 instrument, and the authority must accept such proof of coverage
807 without any conditions other than consent to venue for purposes
808 of any litigation to which the authority is a party. An
809 authority may not require a communications services provider to
810 indemnify it for liabilities not caused by the provider, its
811 agents, or its employees, including liabilities arising from the
812 authority’s negligence, gross negligence, or willful conduct by
813 an unaffiliated third party.
814 13. Collocation of a small wireless facility on an
815 authority utility pole does not provide the basis for the
816 imposition of an ad valorem tax on the authority utility pole.
817 14. An authority may reserve space on authority utility
818 poles for future public safety uses. However, a reservation of
819 space may not preclude collocation of a small wireless facility.
820 If replacement of the authority utility pole is necessary to
821 accommodate the collocation of the small wireless facility and
822 the future public safety use, the pole replacement is subject to
823 make-ready provisions and the replaced pole shall accommodate
824 the future public safety use.
825 15. A structure granted a permit and installed pursuant to
826 this subsection shall comply with chapter 333 and federal
827 regulations pertaining to airport airspace protections.
828 (r) An authority may require wireless providers to comply
829 with objective design standards adopted by ordinance. The
830 ordinance may only require:
831 1. A new utility pole that replaces an existing utility
832 pole to be of substantially similar design, material, and color;
833 2. Reasonable spacing requirements concerning the location
834 of a ground-mounted component of a small wireless facility which
835 does not exceed 15 feet from the associated support structure;
836 or
837 3. A small wireless facility to meet reasonable location
838 context, color, camouflage, and concealment requirements,
839 subject to the limitations in this subsection; and
840 4. A new utility pole used to support a small wireless
841 facility to meet reasonable location context, color, and
842 material of the predominant utility pole type at the proposed
843 location of the new utility pole.
844
845 Such design standards under this paragraph may be waived by the
846 authority upon a showing that the design standards are not
847 reasonably compatible for the particular location of a small
848 wireless facility or utility pole or are technically infeasible
849 or that the design standards impose an excessive expense. The
850 waiver must be granted or denied within 45 days after the date
851 of the request. An authority may not require landscaping,
852 landscaping maintenance, or vegetation management other than
853 that necessary for right-of-way restoration.
854 Section 23. Present paragraphs (b) and (c) of subsection
855 (3) of section 338.231, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as
856 paragraphs (c) and (d), respectively, a new paragraph (b) is
857 added to that subsection, and paragraph (a) of that subsection
858 is amended, to read:
859 338.231 Turnpike tolls, fixing; pledge of tolls and other
860 revenues.—The department shall at all times fix, adjust, charge,
861 and collect such tolls and amounts for the use of the turnpike
862 system as are required in order to provide a fund sufficient
863 with other revenues of the turnpike system to pay the cost of
864 maintaining, improving, repairing, and operating such turnpike
865 system; to pay the principal of and interest on all bonds issued
866 to finance or refinance any portion of the turnpike system as
867 the same become due and payable; and to create reserves for all
868 such purposes.
869 (3)(a)1. For the period July 1, 1998, through June 30, 2029
870 2027, the department shall, to the maximum extent feasible,
871 program sufficient funds in the tentative work program such that
872 the percentage of turnpike toll and bond financed commitments in
873 Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and Palm Beach County as
874 compared to total turnpike toll and bond financed commitments
875 shall be at least 90 percent of the share of net toll
876 collections attributable to users of the turnpike system in
877 Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and Palm Beach County as
878 compared to total net toll collections attributable to users of
879 the turnpike system.
880 2. Beginning in the 2029-2030 fiscal year, the department
881 shall, to the maximum extent feasible, program sufficient funds
882 in the tentative work program such that 100 percent of the share
883 of net toll collections attributable to users of the turnpike
884 system in Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and Palm Beach
885 County is used for turnpike toll and bond financed commitments
886 in those counties.
887
888 This paragraph subsection does not apply when the application of
889 such requirements would violate any covenant established in a
890 resolution or trust indenture relating to the issuance of
891 turnpike bonds.
892 (b) The department may at any time for economic
893 considerations establish lower temporary toll rates for a new or
894 existing toll facility for a period not to exceed 1 year, after
895 which the toll rates adopted pursuant to s. 120.54 shall become
896 effective.
897 Section 24. Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) and paragraph
898 (d) of subsection (5) of section 339.81, Florida Statutes, are
899 amended to read:
900 339.81 Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network.—
901 (2)
902 (b) The multiuse trails or shared-use paths of the
903 statewide network must be physically separated from motor
904 vehicle traffic and constructed with asphalt, concrete, or
905 another improved hard surface approved by the department.
906 (5)
907 (d) To the greatest extent practicable, the department
908 shall program projects in the work program to plan for
909 development of the entire trail and to minimize the creation of
910 gaps between trail segments. The department shall, at a minimum,
911 ensure that local support exists for projects and trail
912 segments, including the availability or dedication of local
913 funding sources and of contributions by private landowners who
914 agree to make their land, or property interests in such land,
915 available for public use as a trail. The department may also
916 consider any sponsorship agreement entered into pursuant to
917 subsection (7).
918 Section 25. Subsection (16) of section 341.041, Florida
919 Statutes, is amended to read:
920 341.041 Transit responsibilities of the department.—The
921 department shall, within the resources provided pursuant to
922 chapter 216:
923 (16) Unless otherwise provided by state or federal law,
924 ensure that all grants and agreements between the department and
925 entities providing paratransit services to persons with
926 disabilities include, at a minimum, the following provisions:
927 (a) Performance requirements for the delivery of services,
928 including clear penalties for repeated or continuing violations;
929 (b) Minimum liability insurance requirements for all
930 transportation services purchased, provided, or coordinated for
931 the transportation disadvantaged, as defined in s. 427.011(1),
932 through the contracted vendor or subcontractor thereof;
933 (c) Complaint and grievance processes for users of
934 paratransit services for persons with disabilities users,
935 including a requirement that all reported complaints,

938 (d) A requirement that the provisions of paragraphs (a),
939 (b), and (c) must be included in any agreement between an entity
940 receiving a grant or an agreement from the department and such
941 entity’s contractors or subcontractors that provide paratransit
942 services for persons with disabilities.
943 Section 26. Section 479.25, Florida Statutes, is amended to
944 read:
945 479.25 Erection of noise-attenuation barrier or obstruction
946 blocking view of sign; procedures; application.—
947 (1) The owner of a lawfully erected sign that is governed
948 by and conforms to state and federal requirements for land use,
949 size, height, and spacing may increase the height above ground
950 level of such sign at its permitted location if a noise
951 attenuation barrier, ramp, or braided bridge is permitted by or
952 erected by any governmental entity in such a way as to screen or
953 block visibility of the sign. Any increase in height permitted
954 under this section may only be the increase in height which is
955 required to achieve the same degree of visibility from the
956 right-of-way which the sign had before the construction of the
957 noise-attenuation barrier, ramp, or braided bridge,
958 notwithstanding the restrictions contained in s. 479.07(9)(b). A
959 sign reconstructed under this section must comply with the
960 building standards and wind load requirements provided in the
961 Florida Building Code. If construction of a proposed noise
962 attenuation barrier, ramp, or braided bridge will screen a sign
963 lawfully permitted under this chapter, the department shall
964 provide notice to the local government or local jurisdiction
965 within which the sign is located before construction. Upon a
966 determination that an increase in the height of a sign as
967 permitted under this section will violate an ordinance or a land
968 development regulation of the local government or local
969 jurisdiction, the local government or local jurisdiction shall,
970 before construction:
971 (a) Provide a variance or waiver to the local ordinance or
972 land development regulations to allow an increase in the height
973 of the sign;
974 (b) Allow the sign to be relocated or reconstructed at
975 another location if the sign owner agrees; or
976 (c) Pay the fair market value of the sign and its
977 associated interest in the real property.
978 (2) The department shall hold a public hearing within the
979 boundaries of the affected local governments or local
980 jurisdictions to receive input on the proposed noise-attenuation
981 barrier, ramp, or braided bridge and its conflict with the local
982 ordinance or land development regulation and to suggest or
983 consider alternatives or modifications to alleviate or minimize
984 the conflict with the local ordinance or land development
985 regulation or minimize any costs that may be associated with
986 relocating, reconstructing, or paying for the affected sign. The
987 public hearing may be held concurrently with other public
988 hearings scheduled for the project. The department shall provide
989 a written notification to the local government or local
990 jurisdiction of the date and time of the public hearing and
991 shall provide general notice of the public hearing in accordance
992 with the notice provisions of s. 335.02(1). The notice may not
993 be placed in that portion of a newspaper in which legal notices
994 or classified advertisements appear. The notice must
995 specifically state that:
996 (a) Erection of the proposed noise-attenuation barrier,
997 ramp, or braided bridge may block the visibility of an existing
998 outdoor advertising sign;
999 (b) The local government or local jurisdiction may restrict
1000 or prohibit increasing the height of the existing outdoor
1001 advertising sign; and
1002 (c) Upon construction of the noise-attenuation barrier,
1003 ramp, or braided bridge, the local government or local
1004 jurisdiction shall:
1005 1. Allow an increase in the height of the sign through a
1006 waiver or variance to a local ordinance or land development
1007 regulation;
1008 2. Allow the sign to be relocated or reconstructed at
1009 another location if the sign owner agrees; or
1010 3. Pay the fair market value of the sign and its associated
1011 interest in the real property.
1012 (3) The department may not permit erection of the noise
1013 attenuation barrier, ramp, or braided bridge to the extent the
1014 barrier or obstruction screens or blocks visibility of the sign
1015 until after the public hearing is held.
1016 (4) This section does not apply to any existing written
1017 agreement executed before July 1, 2006, between any local
1018 government and the owner of an outdoor advertising sign.
