SB121

AN ACT relating to stray equines.

Chamber Passed·3/4/25

Kentucky SB121 amends the process for handling stray equines, including documentation, posting, and owner notification.

Kentucky SB121 modifies the procedures for managing stray equines. It requires a county judge/executive to document details of the equine, including breed, color, sex, and distinguishing marks. The taker-up must post a copy of this documentation in the sheriff's office and send a copy to the Office of the State Veterinarian, who will post a photograph of the equine online. The county judge/executive can contract with a licensed veterinarian for these duties. The taker-up is immune from liability for actions related to the stray equine.
