The Council on Postsecondary Education shall have all the powers and
authority, not explicitly prohibited by statute, necessary and convenient to carry
out and effectuate the purposes of KRS 164.6019 to 164.6041, including but
not limited to:
(a) Entering into contracts or agreements necessary or incidental to the
performance of its duties, functions, and responsibilities; and
(b) Soliciting, borrowing, accepting, receiving, and expending funds from any
public or private source, including but not limited to general fund
appropriations of the Commonwealth, grants, or contributions of money,
property, labor, or other things of value to be used to carry out the
programs' operations, functions, and responsibilities; and
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (a) of this subsection, the
commissioner of the Department of Commercialization and Innovation
shall approve the contracts issued by the Council on Postsecondary
Education regarding the structure of programs and funding levels in those
programs administered by a science and technology organization and
created in KRS 154.12-320, 164.6021, 164.6029, and 164.6037.
The council may expend money in the funds created in KRS 164.6019,
164.6027, and 164.6035 for reasonable administrative expenses directly
incurred in carrying out the requirements of KRS 164.6019 to 164.6041. It is
the intent of the General Assembly that the funds created in KRS 164.6019,
164.6027, and 164.6035 be used, to the fullest extent possible, to directly fund
project costs. It is also the intent of the General Assembly that the first priority
of expenditures of any excess revenues generated from the funds created in
KRS 164.6019, 164.6027, and 164.6035 is to replenish general fund
appropriations for those same purposes.
The council shall contract with a science and technology organization to
administer the programs created in KRS 164.6021, 164.6029, and 164.6037.
The council shall approve the application criteria, the process for submission of
an application, and the structure and type of outside expertise or peer review
used in the application review process in the programs created in KRS
164.6021, 164.6029, and 164.6037.
No member of the council or the science and technology organization or other
administering entity, or their employees or outside experts or their immediate
family members, shall directly or indirectly financially benefit in any award,
contract, or agreement under the programs.
The council shall submit an annual report prior to October 15 to the Kentucky
Innovation Commission, the Governor, and the General Assembly detailing its
work related to the programs created in KRS 164.6021, 164.6029, and
164.6037. The annual report shall be coordinated with the monitoring report by
the Department of Commercialization and Innovation indicating progress made
through investments, and shall include but not be limited to reporting on the
progress made in achieving each program's purposes, qualitative and
quantitative information concerning the applications received, projects
approved and undertaken, companies served, and funding amounts invested in
(6)
each project or program, as appropriate, and findings and recommendations to
increase each program's effectiveness in achieving its purposes.
All records related to the administration of the programs created in KRS
164.6021, 164.6029, and 164.6037 shall be deemed property of the council
and shall be deemed open records and subject to public inspection under KRS
61.870 to 61.884. Any research that involves or is a patent, trade secret, or
other legally protectable interest shall be exempt from inspection until such
time as the intellectual property rights have been fully protected.
