This bill gives the Kentucky Horse Park Commission the authority to remove or ban individuals from Horse Park property in two situations: if a national sports safety organization has restricted their participation in Olympic, Paralympic, or equestrian activities, or if their conduct poses a safety or security risk to park visitors. It also allows the commission to create formal rules governing how those removals and bans are carried out. Who it may affect: visitors and participants at the Kentucky Horse Park, and individuals who have faced restrictions from the United States Center for SafeSport.
