AN ACT relating to authorizing the payment of certain claims against the state which have been duly audited and approved according to law and have not been paid because of the lapsing or insufficiency of former appropriations against which the claims were chargeable or the lack of an appropriate procurement document in place, making an appropriation therefor, and declaring an emergency.

This bill sets aside state funds to pay off outstanding bills that Kentucky state government owes but has not yet paid, typically because the money originally set aside for them ran out or expired. It is marked as an emergency measure, meaning it takes effect immediately upon signing. Essentially, it clears a backlog of approved but unpaid financial obligations owed by the state. Who it may affect: Businesses, contractors, or individuals who provided goods or services to the state and are still awaiting payment.
