At the end of two (2) years, the former employee or agent may acquire an interest in, or accept employment with, any applicant or person licensed by or registered with the Commission upon application to and the approval of the Commission upon a finding that the interest to be acquired or the employment will not create the appearance of a conflict of interest and does not evidence a conflict of interest in fact.

(d) No partnership, firm or corporation in which a former Commission member or employee or former Division employee or agent has an interest, nor any partner, officer or employee of any such partnership, firm or corporation shall make any appearance or representation which is prohibited to said former member, employee, or agent; prohibited to said former member, employee, or agent; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit such partnership, firm or corporation from making such appearance or representation on behalf of a casino service industry licensed under subsection (c) of section 444 of this title, provided that the casino service industry is not a casino licensee or its subsidiary.
(e) Notwithstanding any post-employment restriction imposed by this section, nothing herein shall prohibit a former Commission member or employee or former Division employee or agent, at any time after termination of such membership or employment, from acquiring an interest in, or soliciting or obtaining employment with, any person licensed as a casino service industry under section 444 of this title or any applicant for such licensure, provided that the casino service industry is not a casino licensee or its subsidiary.
