Notwithstanding any statutory provisions to the contrary, any state agency as
defined in KRS 7A.010, institution of higher education defined as an institution in
KRS 164A.550, or affiliated corporation as defined in KRS 164A.550, shall obtain
authorization from the General Assembly prior to entering into an agreement
identified in subsection (2) of this section. The General Assembly authorization
shall occur only when the General Assembly enacts legislation specifically
authorizing the agreement.
General Assembly authorization shall be required for an agreement for the use,
purchase, or acceptance of real property of any value, or equipment with a value in
excess of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000), if:
(a) The agreement provides that the state, a state agency, institution of higher
education, or affiliated corporation will become the owner of the real property
or equipment at any time; and
(b) All or any portion of the purchase price of the real property or equipment is
funded through the issuance of a financial instrument which requires payment
of principal and interest over time, including, but not limited to, notes, bonds,
securities, and certificates of participation, regardless of the identity of the
issuer.
For any capital projects authorized by KRS 45A.077 and utilizing the public-private
partnership delivery method, the General Assembly has authorization through the
Capital Projects and Bond Oversight Committee to review and approve a project in
accordance with KRS 45.800. The contracting body shall report a capital project to
the Capital Projects and Bond Oversight Committee after negotiations are complete
with the project partner but prior to beginning work on the project for review and
approval by the committee.
