56.120 Payment for damages.
When the amount of damage has been determined, the State Treasurer shall debit the
account of the state fire and tornado insurance fund by that amount and credit with an
equal amount the account of the agency that has control or custody of the property
damaged, and upon warrant from the Finance and Administration Cabinet, the Treasurer
shall pay to the agency the amount so credited to it, for the purpose of repairing the
damage or reconstructing or replacing the damaged or destroyed property. If the agency
deems it impracticable or undesirable to use the money for repair, reconstruction, or
replacement of the property damaged or destroyed, it may, with the approval of the
Finance and Administration Cabinet, and subject to the provisions of KRS 56.491,
expend said funds for the acquisition, repair, construction, or reconstruction of property
similar to the property damaged or destroyed. No debit, credit, or payment made on
account of the damage to any one (1) subject of risk, by any one (1) loss, shall be in
excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000), unless the Office of the Controller in the
Finance and Administration Cabinet has effected reinsurance upon the subject of risk
such as to limit the liability of the state fire and tornado insurance fund to one million
dollars ($1,000,000), and unless the excess over this amount has actually been paid into
the fund by the reinsuring company or companies.
