AN ACT relating to county jails.
This bill makes a technical correction to Kentucky law regarding how county jailers can spend money from the jail budget. It clarifies that jailers can authorize expenditures for items like supplies and services, as long as they follow the approved budget and county procurement rules, and ensures payment requires fiscal court approval. The update also corrects language in the section about submitting payroll time reports for jail staff to the county treasurer. Overall, the legislation aims to fix minor wording errors in the existing statute without changing the fundamental financial rules for county jails.
