The Board of Claims, created by KRS 44.070, is hereby vested with full power,
authority, and jurisdiction to investigate, hear proof, and compensate persons
for damages sustained to either person or property as approximate result of
negligence on the part of any municipality, or any of its officers, agents, or
employees while acting within the scope of their employment by the
municipality, or any agency thereof, relating to the maintenance by the
municipality of state-owned traffic control devices pursuant to a contract with
the Commonwealth.
Claims for personal injury or property damage against any municipality, or any
of its officers, agents, or employees while acting within the scope of their
employment of the municipality, arising out of negligence in the maintenance of
state-owned traffic control devices pursuant to a contract with the
Commonwealth, shall be limited and reduced in the same manner as described
in KRS 44.070 with respect to claims against the Commonwealth.
It is the intention of subsections (1) and (2) of this section to provide every
municipality and agency thereof, and their respective officers, agents, or
employees with the same liability protection, restrictions, and reductions when
such municipalities and agencies are performing maintenance on state-owned
traffic control devices pursuant to a contract with the Commonwealth as the
Commonwealth and its agencies, officers, and employees would enjoy if
performing the work itself.
