Section 2-1-6-01-101

Any person(s), while attending or participating in a livestock event being conducted under the auspices of the Mississippi Livestock Show ("Show"), including but not limited to, the Dixie National Junior Round-Up or the Mississippi State Fair Junior Livestock Show, whether during show time or not, who engages in any conduct that poses a clear and present danger to the public health, safety or welfare, including but not limited to, fighting, intoxication (alcohol or drugs), use of profanity, acts of terrorism, discharge of weapons or disorderly or threatening conduct, may be immediately ejected from the premises where the event is being held by the Show's duly authorized agents or designees for the duration of the livestock event, including but not limited to, the Dixie National Junior Round-Up or the Mississippi State Fair Junior Livestock Show.

The ejected person(s) shall then have thirty (30) days to request an informal administrative review before the Deputy Commissioner of the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, or his designee, who shall act as a reviewing officer. At this informal administrative review, subpoena power shall not be available, witnesses shall not be sworn or be subject to cross examination and no record shall be made of the proceedings. The reviewing officer's decision shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties by certified mail. If the accused does not request a hearing within thirty (30) days, then he is deemed to have waived his right to a review.

If any party is aggrieved by the decision of the reviewing officer, he shall have thirty (30) days after his receipt of the reviewing officer's decision to appeal to the Show for a full evidentiary hearing before the Show's directors or their designee. Witnesses shall be sworn and be subject to cross examination. A written record shall be made of the proceedings. The decision of the Show directors shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties by certified mail.

If either party is aggrieved by the decision of the Show directors, he shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the directors' order to appeal to the circuit court of the county where the event was held. Any appeal to circuit court shall be made in accordance with existing state laws and regulations governing such appeals.
