(1)
(2)
Every person not required to be licensed under KRS 230.300 who desires to
participate in horse racing in the Commonwealth as a horse owner, trainer,
jockey, apprentice jockey, agent, stable employee, racing official, association
employee, or employee of a person or concern contracting with the association
to provide a service or commodity and which requires their presence on
association grounds during a race meeting, or veterinarian, farrier, horse
dentist, or supplier of food, tack, medication, or horse feed, or in any other
capacity as the racing commission shall from time to time establish by
administrative regulation, shall first apply to the racing commission for a license
to participate in the activity on association grounds during a race meeting. No
person required to be licensed by this section may participate in any activity
required to be licensed on association grounds during a race meeting without a
valid license therefor. An applicant for a license shall submit to the racing
commission fingerprints as may be required and other information necessary
and reasonable for processing a license application. The racing commission is
authorized to exchange fingerprint data with the Department of Kentucky State
Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in order to conduct a criminal
history background check of an applicant. The racing commission may issue a
license if it finds that the financial responsibility, age, experience, reputation,
competence, and general fitness of the applicant to perform the activity
permitted by a license are consistent with the best interest of racing and the
maintenance of the honesty, integrity, and high quality thereof.
A license may be issued for the calendar year for which an applicant applies
or, if authorized by administrative regulation, a license may be issued that
expires on the last day of the birth month of the licensee. A license may be
renewed by the racing commission. The license shall be valid at all horse race
meetings in the Commonwealth during the period for which it is issued unless
suspended or revoked under the administrative regulations promulgated by the
racing commission under this chapter. With respect to horse owners and
trainers, the racing commission may promulgate administrative regulations to
facilitate and promote uniform, reciprocal licensing with other states.
