state agencies are required to take to implement Title VI, and a report
summarizing and evaluating, relative to the required implementation actions,
the initial state agency implementation plans and including audit findings from
the Auditor of Public Accounts field reviews. The Auditor of Public Accounts
shall transmit the reports to the Governor, the Human Rights Commission, the
Legislative Research Commission, and each state agency. The Auditor of
Public Accounts may prescribe the report format, procedure, and time frame for
purposes of complying with this subsection. The prescribed format, procedure,

under KRS 61.870 to 61.884 in the offices of the Auditor of Public Accounts.
In any annual audit made of a state agency under KRS 43.050, the Auditor of
Public Accounts shall determine whether the state agency has complied with
subsection (2) of this section and shall include the determination in the audit
report.
