Sign Code and Legislation News
n The International Sign Assn. (ISA), Alexandria, VA, disclosed two new federal regulations that will impact
signshops. The first rule, which ISA states went into effect August 10, requires signshops (which are classified
as manufacturing organizations) with more than 20 employees to complete Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) Form 300A, which will help OSHA track on-the-job injuries to create a database to help
identify workplace-accident causes, identify safety hazards, and evaluate accident-prevention programs'
effectiveness. OSHA's rule reportedly enables workers to report injuries and illnesses without retaliation. The
second rule, a Dept. of Labor policy that goes into effect December 1, allows salaried employees who earn less
than $47,646 annually to be eligible for overtime. ISA notes that this will impact 4.2 million US salaried workers.
n The Sussex County (DE) Council has finally resolved its contentious sign-ordinance deliberations, according
to the Sussex County Post. By a 3-2 vote at its July 11 meeting, the Council greenlighted electronic message
centers along two-lane county roads. Republican Michael Vincent, who supported allowing the displays,
said, "There is not one thing that has proven that these signs are a distraction. Not one." Rob Arlett, a
Republican who also supports the measure, said, "On a two-lane road with little traffic, they're not going to
put up [large billboards that cost $100,000 or more]. On a rural road, it's not going to happen."
n An editorial in the Lewisburg (PA) Daily Item applauded efforts by the Lewisburg Borough Council to revamp
its downtown district's sign regulations. The Council asked property owners four questions that addressed the
borough's ban on internally illuminated signage. Members of a Borough Council ad hoc committee, which
will include downtown merchants, Lewisburg Downtown Partnership representatives, the Planning Commission and the Architectural Review Board, will review responses. Illuminated-sign usage is at the discretion
of the Borough Council and Architectural Review Board - without clear regulatory guidelines. Councilwoman
Kathryn Morris summarized it aptly: "This Council is saying we need to ... look at what merchants want and
need, and also value [community input]." A common-sense solution would indeed provide a positive sign.
