| This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot |
A Florida Billboard Amendment will not appear on the November 6, 2012 ballot in the state of Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment. If enacted this measure would have favored the beautification of public space priority over billboards. It would further have made it easier for local governments to order billboard removal and provided a compensation ceiling for when they are removed. This measure would also have prevented the construction of new billboards along any public street or highway. The amendment was introduced by Conserve and Protect Florida's Scenic Beauty on August 14, 2002.[1]
