(2) A person may request placement on the list of self-excluded persons by:
(i) acknowledging in a manner to be established by the board that the person is a problem gambler;
(ii) agreeing that, during any period of voluntary exclusion, the person may not collect any winnings or recover any losses resulting from any video gaming activity within establishment licensees and that person may be subject to arrest for trespass; and

(b) Regulations.--The regulations of the board shall establish:
(1) Procedures for placement on and removal from the list of a self-excluded person.
(2) Procedures for the transmittal to establishment licensees of identifying information concerning a self-excluded person and shall require establishment licensees to establish reasonable procedures designed at a minimum to prevent entry of a self-excluded person into the video gaming area of an establishment licensee, provided that the board may not require video gaming terminals to be equipped with identification card-reading devices or require establishment licensees to purchase identification card-reading devices.
(3) Procedures for the transmittal to terminal operator licensees of identifying information concerning a self-excluded person and shall require terminal operator licensees to establish procedures to remove self-excluded persons from customer loyalty or reward card programs and targeted mailings or other forms of advertising or promotions.
(c) Liability.--An establishment licensee or employee thereof shall not be liable to a self-excluded person or to another party in a judicial proceeding for harm, monetary or otherwise, which may arise as a result of:
(1) the failure of the establishment licensee to withhold video gaming privileges from or restore video gaming privileges to the self-excluded person; or
(2) otherwise permitting or not permitting the self-excluded person to engage in video gaming activity within the establishment licensee's premises while on the list of self-excluded persons.
(d) Nondisclosure.--Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the board's list of self-excluded persons shall not be open to public inspection.
