The regulations shall be consistent with and shall further the Legislature’s intent that prizewinners who wish to do so should be afforded the opportunity to currently enjoy more of their winnings as provided by Section 1 of Chapter 890 of the Statutes of 1994. If the commission deems it necessary, the regulations may require, as a condition to any voluntary assignment pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 8880.325, that the prizewinner be represented by independent legal counsel and receive independent financial and tax advice concerning the effect of the assignment.
