No person or persons shall board or lodge children under the age of sixteen (16)
years, or in any manner conduct a boarding home or boarding house for children
under the age of sixteen (16) years, unless authorized and empowered so to do, in
writing, by the health officer of the county in which such boarding home or boarding
house is conducted. Before authorizing or empowering any person or persons to
board or lodge children under the age of sixteen (16) years, or in any manner to
conduct a boarding house or boarding home for such children, the health officer to
whom an application is made for such authority or power shall make or cause to be
made, an investigation to determine whether such person or persons have made
suitable, sanitary and satisfactory arrangements for the health of such children.
When such authority and power have been granted by a health officer the same may
be revoked at any time, in the discretion of said health officer, when he shall
determine that arrangements for the health of the children boarded or lodged in such
boarding home or boarding house are unsuitable and unsatisfactory, and in no event
shall such authority and power be effective for a longer period than one (1) year
following the granting of same. Whenever the health officer of any county shall be
notified by the juvenile session of District Court of such county, or notified by the
probation officer thereof, that the person or persons operating a boarding home or
boarding house for children under the age of sixteen (16) years are not making
suitable and satisfactory arrangements for the health of the children being boarded
or lodged therein, he shall make or cause to be made an investigation to determine
whether or not the power and authority of such person or persons to operate such
home shall be revoked. Any person who boards or lodges a child under the age of
sixteen (16) years without having the permit provided for herein shall be guilty of an
offense and punished as provided in subsection (3) of KRS 199.990.
