The cabinet may purchase necessary insurance to provide adequate protection
for the public; its authorized pilots and employees; pilots employed by other
departments of state government; aircraft owned, leased or operated by the
cabinet; aircraft owned, leased or operated by other departments of state
government; the health and lives of persons being transported in aircraft
owned, leased or operated by authorized pilots employed by the state.
The commissioner of insurance, upon recommendation of the secretary of the
Transportation Cabinet, shall initiate and be responsible for the purchase of
such insurance. If other departments of state government desire that their
pilots, employees, aircraft and passengers shall be insured under such policy,
then the commissioner of insurance shall prorate the cost of the insurance
among the departments participating.
Each policy shall contain a provision reciting that the defense of immunity of
the state against such liability shall be waived, but only to the extent of the
limits of the policy. Judgment against the state in any case shall not exceed the
limits of the policy. The venue of action shall be as provided by the civil rules.
The limits of liability of the policy shall be determined by the commissioner of
insurance, the secretary of the Transportation Cabinet and the commissioners
of any other participating departments.
Any policy purchased under this section, shall be purchased only from insurers
authorized to do business in this state and shall be countersigned by a licensed
resident agent.
