Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HB 2032, the requirement to include the sponsor's name and address on advertising has been removed, while the specific dimensions for public outdoor signs have been modified from a maximum size of 8 feet by 4 feet to 24 inches by 18 inches. This change is significant because it reduces the amount of personal information required in public advertisements and limits the size of signs, potentially making it easier for smaller campaigns to comply with regulations.
