7/11/06-Gov. Linda Lingle has signed a bill into law that prohibits paid commercial advertising on cars, trucks or trailers on public roads, or on private property that is easily visible from public areas.
The new law, previously HB2708, only addresses trucks that feature third-party commercial advertising, and does not prohibit companies from advertising their own products or services on their own trucks. The new law also does not prohibit political speech, which is protected under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
