230.760 Exemption from liability. No licensee conducting a race or meet hereunder, no member of the authority, judge, or assistant official appointed to act as such pursuant to this chapter, shall be liable for damages to any person, association, or corporation for any cause whatsoever arising out of or from the performance by the licensee, member of the authority, judge, or assistant official of his duties and the exercise of his discretion with respect thereto, so long as he acted in good faith, without malice or improper motive. Effective: March 30, 1992 History: Amended 1992 Ky. Acts ch. 109, sec. 35, effective March 30, 1992. -- Created 1974 Ky. Acts ch. 346, sec. 16. Legislative Research Commission Note (1/20/2006). This statute, as enacted in 1974 Ky. Acts ch. 346, sec. 16, contained references to "the commission" and "commissioner." The Reviser of Statutes has changed these references to read "the authority" and "member of the authority." The change was made in accordance with 2004 Ky. Acts ch. 191, sec. 56, which instructs the Reviser of Statutes to "replace references in the Kentucky Revised Statutes to the agencies, subagencies, and officers affected by this Act with references to the appropriate successor agencies, subagencies, and officers established by this Act." Under 2004 Ky. Acts ch. 191, the Kentucky Racing Commission was abolished, and its successor agency is the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority. Page 1 of 1
