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.
