7B.010 Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds and declares that:
(1) The growing complexity and interdependence of the modern world,
demonstrated by such issues as global environmental change, changing
workforce development needs, the aging population, international trade, the
number of working poor, the need for improved access to health care, and the
emergence of fundamental changes in the role of government, require that
government decision-makers consider the long-term changes affecting the
welfare of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and bring these factors to bear upon
public policy;
(2) There is a need to coordinate state government's information resources to
provide a systematic and comprehensive use of that information to guide
policymakers concerning critical trends and alternative futures;
(3) To effect a prosperous future for the Commonwealth and its citizens, it is
necessary for changes to occur in the way decisions are made in government
so policymakers can consider the long-term implications of decisions and
address emerging issues so the Commonwealth can take advantage of
opportunities, avoid problems, and provide for continuity in policy; and
(4) It is necessary to establish mechanisms to bring all perspectives into the
decision-making process to evaluate information, focus attention on areas in
which information is inadequate, and identify critical trends and alternative
futures based upon the best available information.
