If any free passes or complimentary cards shall be issued to guests by any licensee, such licensee shall nevertheless be responsible for payment of the admission tax upon such complimentary admission cards or passes as though they had been sold at regular admission price. However, nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit the issuance of tax free passes to officials and actual employees of the licensee, or other persons actually engaged in working at such track, including persons actually employed and accredited by the press or other news service; provided, that the issuance of all such tax free passes shall be governed by the regulations and orders of the commission and a list of all such officers, employees, and news service representatives shall be filed with the commission.
