"Incapacity" means a condition under which a sheriff or his or her personal
representative may apply to the Circuit or District Judge that presides over the
sheriff's county for an order to determine that the sheriff is physically or
mentally unable to discharge the duties of his or her office. The application to
the Circuit or District Judge shall include and be supported by an affidavit by
the sheriff's physician documenting the sheriff's incapacitating condition.
If a sheriff in a county containing a population of less than seventy thousand
(70,000) dies or is incapacitated during his or her term of office, the fiscal court
of that county shall on or before the first day of March of the year following the
death or date of incapacity of the sheriff pay to the sheriff or to the personal
representative of the sheriff sufficient money to reimburse the sheriff or his or
her estate for the salaries of his deputies and assistants and other necessary
expenses of his or her office that were paid by the sheriff during the year of his
or her death or incapacity. Additionally, for each month that the sheriff or his or
her personal representative performed the duties of sheriff during the year of
his or her death or incapacity, the fiscal court shall pay to the sheriff or to the
sheriff's personal representative a sum of money equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of
the total salary received by the county's sheriff in the year prior to the year of
the death or incapacity. The sheriff's salary and all fees and commissions paid
to the sheriff during the year of his or her death or incapacity shall be deducted
from the amount that the sheriff or his or her personal representative is to
receive by this section.
If a county's population that equaled or exceeded seventy thousand (70,000) is
less than seventy thousand (70,000) after the most recent federal decennial
census, then the provisions of KRS 64.368 shall apply.
