No agreement made pursuant to KRS 65.210 to 65.300 shall relieve any public
agency of any obligation or responsibility imposed upon it by law except that to the
extent of actual and timely performance thereof by a joint board or other legal or
administrative entity created by an agreement made pursuant to KRS 65.210 to
65.300, that performance may be offered in satisfaction of the obligation or
responsibility.
Except as provided in subsections (3) and (4) of this section, every agreement made
pursuant to KRS 65.210 to 65.300 shall, prior to and as a condition precedent to its
entry into force, be submitted to the Attorney General who shall determine whether
the agreement is in proper form and compatible with the laws of this state, except
for interlocal agreements between cities, counties, charter counties, urban-county
governments, and sheriffs upon approval of the fiscal court, which shall be
submitted to the Department for Local Government. The Attorney General or the
Department for Local Government shall approve any agreement submitted to them
under this subsection unless they find that it does not meet the conditions set forth
in KRS 65.210 to 65.300. If the agreement does not meet these conditions, the
Attorney General or the Department for Local Government shall detail in writing,
addressed to the governing bodies of the public agencies concerned, the specific
respects in which the proposed agreement fails to meet the requirements of law.
Failure to disapprove an agreement submitted hereunder within sixty (60) days of its
submission shall constitute approval thereof.
The submission of an interlocal cooperative agreement to the Attorney General or
the Department for Local Government as provided in subsection (2) of this section
shall not be required for any cooperative agreement which involves only the
construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of a municipal road or bridge,
provided a written agreement is approved by each of the affected governing bodies.
Interlocal cooperative agreements between school boards and counties shall be
exempt from the provisions of subsection (2) of this section.
