As used in KRS 61.886 to 61.892:
(a) "Commission" means the Breaks Interstate Park Commission created in KRS
148.220; and
(b) "TVA" means the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The Tennessee Valley Authority or the Breaks Interstate Park Commission may
apply to the Governor for the appointment and commissioning of peace officers.
Such persons shall be selected from a list submitted by TVA or the commission to
the Governor. The Governor, upon such application being made and upon the
payment to him or her of a one (1) time fee of five dollars ($5) for each officer to be
appointed, shall appoint, for annually renewable terms of one (1) year, such persons
or as many thereof as he or she deems proper to be such peace officers and shall
give commissions to those appointed. Appointments and annual renewals of
appointments under this subsection shall be subject to approval by the sheriff of
each county in which the peace officer will normally operate, not including counties
into which he or she may pursue and arrest persons under KRS 61.887.
Such commissions shall be recorded in the office of Secretary of State. No person
shall be eligible for appointment and commission as a TVA or commission peace
officer unless he or she has established to the satisfaction of the Governor that,
except for county residency requirements, he or she possesses the qualifications
prescribed for nonelective peace officers by KRS 61.300 and, in addition, that he or
she is a resident of Kentucky, or an adjoining state in which TVA or the
commission operates, and has been for at least two (2) years at the time of his or her
appointment.
