Provided, That all advertising and promotional activities must receive prior approval from the Director before being published or otherwise released by a permittee, its agents, or affiliates:

Provided, however, That any legislative rules previously promulgated by the Legislature to restrict the advertising or promotional activities of licensed limited video lottery retailers or licensed video lottery permittees shall have no effect upon enactment of the amendments to this section during the 2025 Regular Session of the Legislature.

The director shall prepare and submit to the Lottery Commission written recommendations concerning proposed legislative rules for this purpose;
