As used in KRS 68.510 to 68.550 unless the context requires otherwise,
"public service program" shall mean any newly-instituted or expanded service
program to be performed by any county for the benefit of its citizens, which is
approved by the electorate of such county as provided in KRS 68.510 to
68.550, as distinguished from the acquisition by any such county of facilities of
a capital nature, including, but not limited to, the provision or expansion of
human services, provision for new health services or expansion of existing
services, and the provision or expansion of police and fire protection services.
For the purpose of providing one (1) or more public service programs to the
citizens and inhabitants of any county, any county may submit to the electorate
of such county one (1) or more proposals for the approval of one (1) or more
public service programs to be financed by additional voted levies of ad valorem
taxes upon all taxable property in such county. Such additional voted levies of
ad valorem taxes upon all taxable property in any such county shall not exceed
in the aggregate for all public service programs approved by the electorate, the
limits prescribed by the Constitution of Kentucky for any such county.
For the purpose of providing public service programs to the citizens and
inhabitants of any county, any county may submit to the electorate of such
county one (1) or more proposals for the approval of one (1) or more public
service programs, to be financed by voted levies of occupational license fees.
Such voted levies of occupational license fees in any county shall not exceed
in the case of each individual public service program approved by the
electorate, one-half of one percent (0.5%) of salaries, wages, commissions,
and other compensation earned by persons within the county for work done
and services performed or rendered in the county, and the net profits of
businesses, trades, professions, or occupations from activities conducted in the
county except public service companies, banks, trust companies, combined
banks and trust companies, combined trust, banking and title companies, and
all other cases where a county is prohibited by law from imposing a license tax.
