144.115 Legislative findings and declarations.
For purposes of KRS 144.110 to 144.130, the General Assembly finds and declares that: <br>(1) The general welfare and the material well being of citizens of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky depend in large measure upon the development and expansion of industry <br>in the Commonwealth, including the air transportation industry;
(2) The development and expansion of domestic and international air transportation
service promotes economic development within the Commonwealth for the public <br>purposes of relieving unemployment, and stabilizing and promoting the economy of <br>the Commonwealth through the location of new industry and the retention of <br>existing industry within Kentucky;
(3) It is in the best interest of the Commonwealth to induce the location and expansion
of domestic and international air transportation service from within the <br>Commonwealth in order to advance the public purposes of relieving unemployment <br>by creating jobs that but for the inducements to be offered by the Commonwealth to <br>certificated air carriers as provided by KRS 144.110 to 144.130 would not exist and <br>of creating new sources of tax revenues for the support of public services provided <br>by the Commonwealth; and
(4) The authority granted and the purposes to be accomplished by KRS 144.110 to
144.130 are proper governmental and public purposes for which public moneys may <br>be expended, and that inducement for the location or expansion of air transportation <br>facilities and related equipment by certificated air carriers within the <br>Commonwealth is of paramount importance, mandating that the provisions of KRS <br>144.110 to 144.130 be liberally construed and applied in order to advance the public <br>purposes.
