KY Rev Stat § 199.400 (1996 through Reg Sess) What's This?
199.400 Security for care and custody of nonresident child accepted for boarding
or lodging in this state.
Whenever the county judge/executive of any county, in his discretion, deems it necessary
that a person accepting a nonresident child for boarding or lodging in this Commonwealth
shall satisfy him that such a nonresident child shall never become a charge upon the
Commonwealth or any subdivision thereof, he may require that the proper public
authorities of the state or county in which the nonresident child resides, furnish security,
to his satisfaction, that they will assume the care and custody of such child in the event
such child becomes a charge upon this Commonwealth or any subdivision thereof.
Whenever any county judge/executive shall enter an order that such security shall be
furnished for all nonresident children boarded or lodged in his county, no child shall
thereafter be accepted for boarding or lodging in said county until such security is
furnished. Any person who accepts a nonresident child under the age of sixteen (16) years
for boarding or lodging, in any county, without the furnishing of the security provided for
herein, after the county judge/executive of the county has provided by order for the
furnishing of such security, shall be guilty of an offense and punished as provided in
subsection (3) of KRS 199.990.
