Supporters of CA AB2024 argue that the bill enhances the beauty of California's highways while allowing businesses to adapt to changing circumstances. They believe it strikes a balance between promoting commerce and preserving the state's scenic landscapes, ultimately benefiting both businesses and the public.

Critics of CA AB2024 may contend that the bill could lead to increased commercialization of California's highways, undermining efforts to maintain scenic beauty. They might also argue that the relocation agreements could favor larger businesses over smaller ones, potentially creating an uneven playing field in the outdoor advertising market.
