36.415 Use of state aircraft.
(1)
Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, state aircraft, including air
charters, shall be used only for official business.
(2)
State aircraft shall not be used for personal business, except when the Governor or
Lieutenant Governor, for reasons of security, protocol, ceremonial functions, or
overall demands of time, require travel considerations not accorded to other
officials. In recognition of these realities, flights that may be solely for personal
business, or partly for official business or partly for personal business, may be
scheduled for the Governor or the Lieutenant Governor and their immediate
families.
(a) The cost of flights scheduled solely for personal business of the Governor or
Lieutenant Governor shall be charged to that officer in accordance with the
rate schedule set forth in the administrative regulations authorized by KRS
36.410.
(b) If a particular flight is in part official business and part personal business, the
Governor or the Lieutenant Governor shall make a reasonable allocation of the
flight time between official and personal business and be responsible for
paying with nonstate funds to the Division of Air Transport the charge for the
part of the flight that is allocable to personal business. The rate charged shall
be calculated using costs that would be considered in a rate developed by a
commercial air charter company. In these cases, the allocation made and the
basis for the allocation shall be indicated on the aircraft request form.
(3)
Constitutional officers, other elected state officials, members of the General
Assembly, officers and employees of the cabinets, departments, and agencies of
state government, officers and employees of other governmental units, and other
persons traveling under the auspices of a state agency or in connection with state
business deemed desirable by an agency head, including dependents of state
officials, and news media representatives and other persons having an interest in the
official purpose of the trip may be authorized to use state aircraft. Charges for travel
in state aircraft shall be paid by the requesting state agency in accordance with the
rate schedule established in administrative regulations authorized by KRS 36.410.
