The Supreme Court of Georgia has denied Victory Media Group LLC’s petition for certiorari in its case against the Georgia Department of Transportation. Victory Media had argued that state laws regulating billboards infringed on their free speech rights. The trial court previously ruled in favor of the state, and the Court of Appeals declined to hear Victory Media’s appeal. The central issue was a permit for a multiple message sign, which was revoked due to proximity restrictions under the Outdoor Advertising Control Act. Despite raising constitutional questions about content-based restrictions on speech, Victory Media could not demonstrate that these provisions directly harmed them, leading to the denial of their petition.
