New York senator proposes two bills to prohibit gambling billboard ads
New York State Senator Nathalia Fernandez introduced Senate Bills 10400 and 10401 on 15 May, proposing restrictions on gambling, nicotine and alcohol billboard advertising. SB 10400 would impose an immediate ban, while SB 10401 would allow existing adverts to remain until their contracts expire; both are before the Senate Committee on Consumer Protection.
Operators and advertisers could face an immediate ban or a phase-out of existing billboard contracts if either bill passes.
