OAAA produces a semi-annual legal report that serves as an essential resource for members, providing in-depth analysis of recent legal developments, regulatory changes, and landmark court decisions in OOH advertising.
OAAA Association Counsel Allen Smith authored the Fall Legal Report, examining a Wisconsin court case involving a digital billboard legally converted in 2006 but challenged after the City of Madison expanded its boundaries in 2022. The report explores the implications of local sign regulations on existing billboards, property rights, and compensation protections, including a historical case in which Washington risked losing 10% of its federal highway funding over billboard removal requirements.
