A property report shall also contain such other information as the [Director](/usc/15/1701.md?p=1) may by rules or regulations require as being necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of [purchasers](/usc/15/1701.md?p=10).
- (b) **Promotional use—** The property report shall not be used for any promotional purposes before the statement of record becomes effective and then only if it is used in its entirety. No [person](/usc/15/1701.md?p=2) may advertise or represent that the [Director](/usc/15/1701.md?p=1) approves or recommends the [subdivision](/usc/15/1701.md?p=3) or the sale or lease of lots therein.
