a. (Deleted by amendment).

b. No person shall be appointed to or employed by the commission or division if, during the period commencing three years prior to appointment or employment, said person held any direct or indirect interest in, or any employment by, any person which is licensed as a casino licensee pursuant to section 87 of P.L.1977, c. 110 (C.5:12-87) or as a casino service industry enterprise pursuant to subsection a. of section 92 of P.L.1977, c. 110 (C.5:12-92) or has an application pending; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this act to the contrary, any such person may be appointed to or employed by the commission or division if his interest in any such casino licensee or casino service industry enterprise which is publicly traded would not, in the opinion of the employing agency, interfere with the objective discharge of such person's employment obligations, but in no instance shall any person be appointed to or employed by the commission or division if his interest in such a casino licensee or casino service industry enterprise which is publicly traded constituted a controlling interest in that casino licensee or casino service industry enterprise; and provided further, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this act to the contrary, any such person may be employed by the commission or division in a secretarial or clerical position if, in the opinion of the employing agency, his previous employment by, or interest in, any such casino licensee or casino service industry enterprise would not interfere with the objective discharge of such person's employment obligations.
