Md. Code, Transp. § 8-743: (a) The Administration may acquire, by purchase, gift, or condemnation, and remove any outdoor sign that, on July 1, 1975, lawfully existed along or near any expressway and that does not comply with this part
What this law says, in plain English
The state may acquire and remove non-compliant outdoor signs existing before July 1, 1975 near expressways. Compensation covers the sign owner's interest and the landowner's right to erect signs at that location, but not for signs erected after July 1, 1975 in violation of law.
