15.460 Supplemental payments and pension contributions to local governments
from fund -- Supplements to qualified police officers, sheriffs, and deputy
sheriffs.
(1)
Beginning July 15, 1998, an eligible local unit of government shall be entitled to
receive annually a supplement of two thousand seven hundred fifty dollars ($2,750)
for each qualified police officer it employs, and beginning on July 1, 1999, an
annual supplement of three thousand dollars ($3,000) for each qualified police
officer it employs, plus an amount equal to the required employer's contribution on
the supplement to the defined benefit pension plan to which the officer belongs, but
no more than the required employer's contribution to the County Employees
Retirement System hazardous duty category. In the case of County Employees
Retirement System membership, the pension contribution on the supplement shall
be paid whether the officer enters the system under hazardous duty coverage or
nonhazardous coverage. The local unit of government shall pay the amount received
for retirement coverage to the appropriate retirement system to cover the required
employer contribution on the pay supplement. Should the foundation program funds
be insufficient to pay employer contributions to the system, then the total amount
available for pension payments shall be prorated to each eligible government so that
each receives the same percentage of required pension costs attributable to the cash
salary supplement.
(2)
Each qualified police officer, whose local government receives a supplement
pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, shall be paid by the local government the
supplement which his qualifications brought to the local government. The
supplement paid each police officer shall be in addition to his regular salary.
(3)
(a)  Each qualified sheriff who receives the maximum salary allowed by Section
246 of the Kentucky Constitution and KRS 64.527 shall not receive a
supplement.
(b)  Each qualified sheriff who does not receive the maximum salary allowed by
Section 246 of the Kentucky Constitution and KRS 64.527, excluding the
expense allowance provided by KRS 70.170, shall upon final settlement with
the fiscal court under KRS 134.310, receive that portion of the supplement
that will not cause his compensation to exceed the maximum salary.
(c)  Each qualified sheriff who seeks to participate in the fund shall forward a
copy of the final settlement prepared under KRS 134.310 to the fund. The
sheriff shall reimburse the fund if an audit of the final settlement conducted
pursuant to KRS 134.310 reflects that the sheriff received all or a portion of
the supplement in violation of this section. A sheriff who fails to provide a
copy of the final settlement to the fund or to reimburse the fund after
correction by audit, if required, shall not be qualified to participate in the fund
for a period of two (2) years.
(d)  Each qualified deputy sheriff shall receive the supplement from the sheriff if
the sheriff administers his own budget or from the county treasurer if the
sheriff pools his fees. The failure of a sheriff to comply with the provisions of
this section shall not affect the qualification of his deputies to participate in
the fund.
