Bill Summary
Amend KRS 69.010 to change the time period that a city has to provide for the sale of a new franchise before the expiration of the current utility franchise from 18 months to 6 months.
AI Summary
This bill amends a Kentucky law (KRS 96.010) that governs city franchises, which are essentially contracts granting companies the right to provide services like electricity or water within a city. Currently, cities must start the process of selling a new franchise at least eighteen months before an existing one expires. This bill shortens that timeframe to six months, meaning cities will have less time to find a new provider or negotiate terms for utility services before the current contract runs out.
