Existing law requires every schoolbus, while being used for the transportation of school pupils at or below the 12th grade level, to bear upon the front and rear of the bus a plainly visible sign containing the word "schoolbus" in letters not less than 8 inches in height. Existing law requires that the letters on schoolbus signs be of proportionate width. This bill would, notwithstanding any other law, authorize a local school district to approve the placement of commercial advertisements on the exterior of a schoolbus, subject to specified restrictions, that require, among other things, that the district adopt policies and guidelines in connection with the content of the advertising. The bill would require the Department of the California Highway Patrol to adopt and enforce rules and regulations relating to the design, placement, and size of the signage on the exterior of the schoolbus. The bill would prohibit a schoolbus from having more than 2 advertisements at a time and would prohibit each advertisement from covering more than 35% of the space available.
