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 corporation may establish by administrative

license application. The corporation 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 corporation 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.
Every person who desires to participate in sports wagering in the
Commonwealth working in a licensed facility for sports wagering, directly

sports wagering, or having the capability to affect the outcome of sports
wagering through deployment of code to production for any critical
component of a sports wagering system or the capability to deploy code to
production shall first apply to the corporation for a valid occupational license
to participate in that activity.
An applicant for an occupational license shall submit to the corporation
fingerprints as may be required and other information necessary and
reasonable for processing a license application. The corporation 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

the Commonwealth during the period for which it is issued unless suspended or
revoked under the administrative regulations promulgated by the corporation under
