Bill Summary
Amends the Video Gaming Act. Provides that a licensee under the Act may not advertise its video gaming operation using physical advertisements outside the video gaming location or on off-premises billboard signs unless the advertisement is directly and permanently affixed to a building on the video gaming location or on a permanent pole sign that is permanently affixed to a foundation. Provides that provisions regarding restrictions on advertising do not apply in the first 90 days after a video gaming location is issued a license.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Video Gaming Act to restrict how video gaming locations can advertise their operations. Specifically, licensed video gaming locations will be prohibited from using external physical advertisements or off-premises billboard signs, with two key exceptions: advertisements that are directly and permanently affixed to the building of the gaming location, or permanent pole signs that are permanently fixed to a foundation. The bill also includes a 90-day grace period after a location is initially licensed, during which these advertising restrictions will not apply. This legislation appears aimed at reducing the visibility and potentially the perceived intrusiveness of video gaming location advertisements in public spaces, while still allowing some basic signage for businesses to identify themselves.
