(a) It is the intent and purpose of this section to require the commission to act on each application for a permit for the erection and maintenance of outdoor advertising coming within the purview of this chapter within sixty (60) days after such application is filed with the commission to assure the prompt disposition of such applications and to avoid the unnecessary hardship and expense to applicants which could result from unreasonable delay in taking action on the applications.
