This bill would require the Governor to get approval from the State Treasurer before spending taxpayer money on international travel. Without that approval, the Governor could not use public funds for such trips. It adds a new oversight step intended to add accountability over how state dollars are spent on the Governor's travel abroad. Who it may affect: Kentucky taxpayers.
