AN ACT
To amend chapter 262, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to rodeos.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 262, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 262.750, to read as follows:
262.750. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the right to conduct and participate in rodeos in this state shall be guaranteed, and no law, ordinance, or rule shall be enacted to prohibit the conducting of or participation in rodeos in this state; except that, nothing in this section shall be construed to override the protections under chapter 267 or prohibit any reasonable restrictions regarding time, place, and manner consistent with other similar events. Nothing in this section shall be construed to allow horse tripping during a rodeo in this state. As used in this section, the term “horse tripping” means the roping of the legs of or otherwise using a wire, pole, stick, or other object to intentionally trip or cause a horse, mule, burro, ass, or other animal of the equine species to fall. Promoters of rodeos shall have the authority to establish fees and set rules for their specific events, including but not limited to qualifications and procedures for participation.
