In a county containing a consolidated local government or a city of the first
class or a city having a population equal to or greater than twenty thousand
(20,000) based upon the most recent federal decennial census, there is
established within the air pollution control district a special trust fund to be
known as the "air quality trust fund" to be used for conducting and funding air
quality research and development projects, special nonrecurring air quality
projects, and air quality education programs approved by the air pollution
control board to assist in implementing the policies and purposes of this
chapter.
All money collected for the fund shall be deposited by the district into an
interest-bearing capital project account maintained by the fiscal court or
consolidated local government of the county in which the district is located.
Money shall be distributed from the account by the finance director of the
county or consolidated local government based upon written authorization from
the air pollution control board. Money unexpended at the close of a fiscal year
shall not lapse but shall be carried forward for future use.
The fund shall not be used to support or finance the routine day-to-day
activities and responsibilities of the district.
The air pollution control board shall, by regulation, set policies and establish
procedures for the receipt and disbursement of any money collected under this
section and for the full disclosure of the source and use of the money.
The air pollution control board shall control and manage the fund. It shall
publish in writing at its June meeting each year an accounting of the income
and disbursements of the fund.
Four (4) members of the air pollution control board shall constitute a quorum
for conducting business relating to the air quality trust fund. When votes are
taken on matters relating to the fund, each member shall have one (1) vote,
and the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast shall be
necessary for the adoption of any motion, measure, or resolution.
Members of the air pollution control board shall not solicit, but may accept,
money by grant, gift, donation, bequest, civil or criminal penalty, or other
conveyance to be credited to the air quality trust fund, but they may not accept
penalties collected under KRS 77.990 for the air quality trust fund.
