Kentucky Revised Statutes Title VI. Financial Administration § 45A.330.Purpose of KRS 45A.330 to 45A.340

The purpose of KRS 45A.330 to 45A.340 is to prescribe specific standards to guide public officers and employees in the conduct of their offices or employment, and to proscribe improper conduct to the extent to which such conduct may be sufficiently described to enable statutory prohibitions against it to be properly enforced. It is at the same time recognized that under a free government it is both necessary and desirable that all citizens should have certain specific interests in the decisions of government, and that the activities and conduct of public officers and employees should not be unduly circumscribed.
