KRS 441.625 to 441.695 is intended solely to provide an additional and alternative
method of constructing, reconstructing, improving, or repairing and financing jails
and appurtenant facilities for any local government in this state to the end that such
projects expedite the provision of safe and proper facilities by a local government
for the incarceration of prisoners as defined by KRS 441.005. Nothing in KRS
441.625 to 441.695 shall be construed as prohibiting a local government from
providing for the construction, reconstruction, improvement, or repair and financing
of a jail and appurtenant facilities as may be otherwise provided by law.
Nothing in KRS 441.625 to 441.695 shall be construed as prohibiting two (2) or
more local governments from entering into a cooperative agreement for the purpose
of participating with the authority in providing for the construction, reconstruction,
improvement, or repair and financing of a jail and appurtenant facilities for the use
and benefit of all local governments agreeing to the cooperative undertaking, but the
authority shall determine the number and location of regional jails and regional
detention centers, as authorized by KRS 441.625.
Subsection (2) of this section is intended solely as an alternative method to KRS
65.210 to 65.300.
