Bill > SB251

This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 12.028 to make technical corrections to the state government reorganization process. The bill clarifies the procedures for proposing and implementing organizational changes in state government, allowing the Governor, Kentucky Economic Development Partnership, and other elected state executive officers to propose modifications to government structure. These proposed changes can include creating, altering, or abolishing organizational units or administrative bodies, and transferring functions, personnel, funds, equipment, facilities, and records between units. When proposing a reorganization, the plan must be filed with the Legislative Research Commission and include specific details such as an explanation of the proposed changes, estimated expenditure impacts, expected improvements in government management and service delivery, and the effects on budget and personnel of affected organizational units. The bill also maintains existing provisions that allow the Legislative Research Commission or the Legislative Oversight and Investigations Committee to monitor the implementation of reorganization plans and report findings to the General Assembly. Additionally, the bill specifies that funds transferred during reorganization must be kept in designated accounts, with any excess funds returning to the general fund surplus account.
