67B.010 Authority to create metropolitan correctional services departments. The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky determines as a legislative finding of fact that the needs of large urban areas in the field of detention, institutionalization, and rehabilitation of offenders and public wards are more specialized, acute, and distinct than the needs of smaller communities, and require programs peculiarly suited to the needs of large, urban areas, and that in order to protect, enhance, and maintain the public safety, health, and general welfare, it is necessary that consolidated local governments or fiscal courts of counties containing a city of the first class where the constitutional offices of sheriff and jailer have been consolidated, be empowered to create metropolitan correctional services departments which shall be divisions of the consolidated local or county government, and which will be vested with the duty, responsibility, and power to maintain and operate all of the correctional, detention, and rehabilitative facilities of such counties in a professional and competent manner. Effective: July 15, 2002 History: Amended 2002 Ky. Acts ch. 346, sec. 46, effective July 15, 2002. -- Created 1972 Ky. Acts ch. 100, sec. 1.
