Relating to advertising by licensed limited video lottery retailers
This bill amends West Virginia law to update advertising rules for licensed limited video lottery retailers and permittees. It gives the Lottery Commission authority to create advertising rules, requiring all promotional materials to get prior approval from the Lottery Commission Director before being published or released. The bill clarifies that new advertising rules override any previous restrictions on such advertising. It directly affects businesses operating video lottery machines in the state by changing how they can advertise their services. The key change is the mandatory pre-approval process for all advertising content.
