AI Summary
This bill modifies Kentucky law concerning the office of county treasurer by aligning the appointment of the county treasurer with the election of county officers, ensuring the treasurer's bond is secured by a corporate surety company, and allowing for the appointment of an acting county treasurer if the primary treasurer is absent or unable to perform duties for more than five days. The bill also establishes a timeframe of 60 days, or until the end of the current term if sooner, for the fiscal court to fill a vacant treasurer position and permits the appointment of a deputy county treasurer who can exercise the treasurer's powers and responsibilities, subject to fiscal court oversight, and also take on the role of acting treasurer.
