Can I offer contests that involve free entry in Kentucky? What are the requirements?
Based on the provided context documents, it appears that contests involving free entry may not fall under the purview of the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority or the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission. However, KRS 230.380 states that any track licensed by the racing commission to conduct horse racing and desiring to establish a simulcast facility shall apply for and may receive approval from the racing commission for each simulcast facility. Prior to considering an application for approval of a simulcast facility, the racing commission shall notify by regular mail, each state senator, state representative, county judge/executive, and mayor in the jurisdiction in which the proposed simulcast facility is to be located, at least ten (10) days in advance of the racing commission meeting at which the application is to be considered or voted upon. Consideration of an application shall be based on criteria contained in administrative regulations promulgated under KRS 230.300. Approval, if granted, shall be granted for a term of one (1) calendar year.
There are no statutes or regulations found in the provided context documents that specifically address contests involving free entry. It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
