Tell California Senate Transportation Committee members to oppose AB 2717

AB 2717 would significantly expand an existing exemption in California’s Outdoor Advertising Act, creating new opportunities for large‑format advertising displays associated with arena developments.

While the bill is framed as a limited change, it would weaken important protections designed to prevent billboard clustering, establish troubling precedents for future exemptions, and allow large-format advertising to spread farther into surrounding communities.

The consequences would extend beyond aesthetics. Expanding these exemptions could affect neighborhood character, diminish scenic resources, and place additional visual burdens on communities already facing significant development pressures.

The Senate Transportation Committee is scheduled to consider AB 2717 on June 23.

Use the form below to send a message to committee members urging them to oppose AB 2717 and preserve California’s scenic beauty, community character, and quality of life. You may personalize your message before sending.
