Is there any capabilities to prevent a user from creating an event in the past?
Also- is there any capabilities (or planned capability) to have a setting that would prevent a user from creating an event within a set time frame in the future.

Example: User wants to create event 24 hours from now - However business rules for users are that no events should be created within 48 hours of event. Would the user be prevented from creating this event?

We do have a club member addon that allows you to block the display of events outside a specified time range - would that meet your needs? So the events could be created ahead of time but only displayed within 24 hours of 'now'

Thanks for responding @geraint

We have a club policy that an event cannot be entered within 48 hours of the event occurring. So if the event was for a Halloween party Oct. 31 @ 8:00 PM. The event would need to be entered by October 29th at 8:00 PM.

Is this was the club member add-on would do?

Thanks!

No its not. The event could be created at any time but the event would not be visible on the site until October 29th at 8:00 PM.

OK. So JEvents has the ability to prevent display of an event until a specified time. But there is nothing to prevent a user from creating an event 1 or 2 hours before the event occurs. i.e. I create and publish an event 1 hour from now even though my organization prohibits that.

The only manner to enforce a rule like that is to not allow users to publish events, but only create them and then an admin/approver could publish the event if it met our organization's rules for creating events for the calendar.

Correct

It would be possible to write a plugin to enforce your rules but it would need to be a piece of custom development since its not a feature that would have wide appeal
