The Kentucky Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in public accommodations based on race, color, disability, religion, or national origin. “Place of public accommodation, resort, or amusement” includes any place, store, or other establishment either licensed or unlicensed, which supplies goods or services to the general public or which solicits or accepts the patronage or trade of the general public or which is supported directly or indirectly by government funds: except that (1) a private club is not a place of public accommodation, resort or amusement if its policies are determined by its members and its facilities or services are available only to its members and their guests; and (2) “place of public accommodation, resort or amusement” does not include a rooming or boarding house containing not more than one room for rent or hire and which is within a building occupied by the proprietor as his/her residence.
Posting Requirements
All covered businesses are required to display the Kentucky Public Accommodation Poster where it may be readily observed by those seeking or granting any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges of places of public accommodations, resort or amusement (104 KAR 1:010). For example, the front window, in a stand at the entrance, on the cash register, where licenses are posted, or some other conspicuous place.
