BILL NUMBER:S5242 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the highway law, in relation to permitting small seasonal farmers to place signs near state highways PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To allow small agricultural businesses to place advertising signs near state highways. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends the highway law by adding section 332, which permits farmers upon request to place, cause to be placed, or permit to be placed signs beyond 660 feet outside urban areas, with the purpose of the signage to be the indication of seasonal farms. Such signage shall be subject to the rules and regulations as provided by the commissioner Section 2 contains the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Seasonal signs, which indicate the availability of specific products to consumers, are vital to agricultural businesses. Farmers have generally placed signs along state highways to advertise these seasonal products, but in recent years have been notified that their actions are not permitted by law. This bill allows farmers to advertise their seasonal crops and products by placing signage along state highways beyond the current limit, so that they may continue to notify consumers of their availability and promote agri-tourism.
