Bill > SB260

This bill amends existing Kentucky law to require the executive director of the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security to submit monthly (instead of quarterly) reports to the Legislative Research Commission and the Interim Joint Committee on Appropriations and Revenue. The reports will detail homeland security funding, including the amount and specific source of funds received, specific expenditures by amount and recipient, and the remaining account balance. The initial monthly report is now set to be submitted by October 15, 2025, and must include information on receipts and expenditures since the passage of the federal Homeland Security Act of 2002. This change increases the frequency of reporting from quarterly to monthly, which aims to provide more timely and transparent oversight of homeland security funding. The bill builds upon existing requirements for annual reports that assess the Commonwealth's preparedness for terrorism and other security threats, and continues the practice of financial reporting and potential auditing by the Auditor of Public Accounts.
