Bill > SB193

This bill creates a new legal provision for the Secretary of State to issue "jailer service cards" to current and former jailers in Kentucky who meet specific qualifications. A "qualified jailer" is defined as an individual who is currently serving or previously served as an elected or appointed jailer in Kentucky and has not been removed from office or disqualified from holding office under state constitution or laws. The Secretary of State will be responsible for creating administrative regulations that establish protocols for verifying applicant identity, designing the service card application form, and determining the card's design and content. The card must distinguish between currently serving and previously serving jailers, include the cardholder's identification, and specify the county where they hold or held the jailer office. Applicants will be required to pay a fee for the card that does not exceed the actual production costs. The purpose of the jailer service card is to provide an official acknowledgment of an individual's service as a jailer in Kentucky, which could potentially serve as a form of professional recognition or documentation of past public service.
