Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    Section 59-150-130(G) and (I), as added by Act 59 of 2001, is amended to read:

"(G)     A lottery vendor must not enter into a contract for the purpose of influencing a political decision in connection with the operation of the lottery, and a lottery vendor must not employ, contract with, or otherwise authorize a lobbyist, as defined in Section 2-17-10(13), to engage in lobbying, as defined in Section 2-17-10(12), on behalf of the lottery vendor for the purpose of influencing a political decision in connection with the operation of the lottery."

"(I)(1)    The prohibitions and restrictions described in item (A)(7) and subsections (F) and (G) specifically apply to a lottery vendor as defined in Section 59-150-20(9), except as provided in item (2) of this subsection, and its employees, members of its board, and holders of an interest in it of more than ten percent, and their immediate family members, as defined in Section 59-150-20(6).

(2)    The prohibitions and restrictions described in subsection (F) do not apply to a lottery vendor that is a federally-chartered or insured financial institution that provides only usual and customary banking services as a lottery vendor, but do apply to the vendor's employees and their immediate family members who are involved on a day-to-day basis in providing the goods or services that are the subject of the contract with the commission."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
