Notwithstanding any other provision of law, rule or regulation nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the stewards or the commission to promulgate any rule or regulation that would prohibit a jockey from wearing any advertising or promotional material on his or her clothing. The wearing of such advertising or promotional material shall be permitted only when the owner of a horse for whom such jockey is riding provides the jockey with prior written authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a corporation, company or any other entity sponsors a race or race day at any franchised corporation or any racing association or corporation, such racing association may prohibit a jockey from wearing advertising material that represents a competitor of such sponsoring corporation, company or other entity.
