Bill > HB4678

This bill amends the Video Gaming Act to change the rules for advertising video gaming operations. Previously, there were stricter limitations on where and how licensees could advertise their video gaming operations, particularly concerning physical advertisements outside the licensed location or on off-premises signs. The new provisions allow licensees to advertise through permanent physical signage, as long as it is securely attached and not temporary or movable. This includes signs directly and permanently affixed to a building at the licensed location, signs mounted on a pole or monument sign permanently affixed to a foundation (whether on or off the premises), and outdoor advertising structures that are permanently installed on a secured foundation and comply with local zoning and sign regulations. The bill explicitly prohibits temporary, portable, movable, or non-permanent signage like banners, sandwich boards, or yard signs. These changes do not apply during the first 90 days after a video gaming location receives its license.
