Full text
(a) A person who places or commissions the placement of a sign on a state highway right-of-way that is not otherwise authorized by law may be liable for a civil penalty. The attorney general or a district or county attorney of the county in which the placement of a sign on a state highway right-of-way is alleged to have occurred may sue to collect the penalty.
(b) The amount of the civil penalty is not less than $500 or more than $1,000 for each violation, depending on the seriousness of the violation and whether the person has previously violated this chapter. A separate penalty may be collected for each day a continuing violation occurs.
(c) A penalty collected under this section shall be deposited to the credit of the state highway fund if collected by the attorney general and to the credit of the county road and bridge fund of the county in which the violation occurred if collected by a district or county attorney.
