No county ordinance shall be passed until it has been read on two (2) separate
days, but ordinances may be read by title and a summary only. A proposed
ordinance may be amended by the fiscal court after its first reading and prior to
its adoption. All amendments shall be proposed in writing, and only by setting
out in full each amended section.
No county ordinance shall be passed until it has been published pursuant to
KRS Chapter 424. Prior to passage, ordinances may be published by
summary. Publication shall include the time, date, and place at which the
county ordinance will be considered, and a place within the county where a
copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance is available for public inspection.
Publication of amendments to a proposed ordinance shall be required,
pursuant to KRS Chapter 424, prior to its adoption, and amendments shall be
filed with the full text of the proposed ordinance that is available for public
inspection. If consideration for passage is continued from the initial meeting to
a subsequent date, no further publication shall be necessary if at each meeting
the time, date, and place of the next meeting are announced.
All county ordinances and amendments shall be published after passage and
may be published in full or in summary form at the discretion of the fiscal court.
If applicable, a sketch, drawing, or map, together with a narrative description
written in layman's terms, may be used in lieu of metes and bounds
descriptions. If published in summary form, publication shall contain notice of a
place in the county where the full text of the ordinance or amendment is
available for public inspection.
Traffic, building, housing, plumbing, electrical, safety, and other self-contained
codes may be adopted by reference if a copy of the code is kept with the
adopting ordinance and is made a part of the permanent records of the county.
The provisions of this section shall not be applicable in counties that have
pursuant to KRS 67.830 adopted a charter county form of government or
pursuant to KRS Chapter 67A adopted an urban-county form of government or
