Beta

This bill makes several updates to how Kentucky state government handles spending thresholds, contracts, and administrative rules. It raises the dollar amounts at which purchases, leases, and technology upgrades must go through the formal capital project approval process, and it adjusts rules around construction work, public records appeals, pensions, and university board meetings. Who it may affect: state agency employees, public university staff and administrators, retired police officers working at universities, and workers or retirees with accounts through the Kentucky Public Pensions Authority.
