(a) It is unlawful for owners, proprietors, lessees, keepers, agents, employees or servants of any theaters, shows, parks, places of public resort for observation of scenery or amusement of any kind whatever, where a fee or toll is charged for admission into those places or premises, to refuse admission to any person on account of the fact that the person travels to and from the parks or places over a particular route, or in the vehicles, or other means of conveyance of any person rather than another. It is the duty of all owners, proprietors, lessees, or keepers of the public places to admit all well behaved persons upon equal terms, without regard to the particular route or means of conveyance.

(b) All places kept open for the public and at which a fee or toll is charged, either at that place or for traveling over any route or railway, where the place is the inducement to such travel, shall be conclusively taken to fall within this section.

(c) For each violation of this section, the proprietor, owner or lessee of the place or grounds, together with the keeper of gates or doors, shall forfeit no less than five dollars ($5.00) nor more than fifty dollars ($50.00), to be recovered by action of debt before any general sessions judge, at the suit of the individual who may be denied admission or at the suit of the person owning the vehicle or other mode of conveyance in which the person denied admission may have traveled to the place or ground. The owner, proprietor, lessee or keeper is also liable for all damage done to the business of the person who may be so discriminated against and may be restrained by injunction from continuing the discrimination.

(d) This section shall be liberally construed so as to prevent evasions and subterfuges.
