AN ACT relating to information technology.

HB 709 amends Kentucky law to remove an outdated deadline (January 1, 2012) from requirements for the Finance and Administration Cabinet to publish executive branch spending data online. The bill maintains existing rules requiring the website to display payee names, expenditure categories, descriptions, amounts, and links to financial documents, with monthly updates for most data and weekly updates for EMARS system data. It clarifies the Cabinet as the sole custodian of these records and mandates free sharing of website software/data between state government branches. The bill directly affects state government operations and public access to financial transparency, with no new policy requirements beyond correcting obsolete language.
