Rep. Greg Cheney, R-Battle Ground, delivers a speech on the House floor in support of his bill, House Bill 2371, which aims to provide clarity regarding the removal of political advertising post-election. Currently, state law considers it a misdemeanor to remove or deface political advertisements like yard signs or billboards without authorization. This legislation clarifies the point at which an advertisement is no longer lawfully placed, reducing confusion surrounding individuals' legal responsibilities concerning political signage.
