Kentucky Revised Statutes Title XV. Roads, Waterways, and Aviation § 174.506.Use of state aircraft

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, state aircraft, including air charters, shall be used only for official business.

(2) State aircraft shall not be used for personal business, except when the Governor or Lieutenant Governor, for reasons of security, protocol, ceremonial functions, or overall demands of time, require travel considerations not accorded to other officials. In recognition of these realities, flights that may be solely for personal business, or partly for official business or partly for personal business, may be scheduled for the Governor or the Lieutenant Governor and their immediate families.

(3) Constitutional officers, other elected state officials, members of the General Assembly, officers and employees of the cabinets, departments, and agencies of state government, officers and employees of other governmental units, and other persons traveling under the auspices of a state agency or in connection with state business deemed desirable by an agency head, including dependents of state officials, and news media representatives and other persons having an interest in the official purpose of the trip may be authorized to use state aircraft. Charges for travel in state aircraft shall be paid by the requesting state agency in accordance with the rate schedule established in administrative regulations authorized by KRS 174.504.
