11.220 Purpose, intent of gubernatorial transition law.
The General Assembly declares it to be the purpose of KRS 11.210 to 11.260 to promote <br>the orderly transfer of the executive power in connection with the expiration of the term <br>of office of a governor and the inauguration of a new governor. The interest of the <br>Commonwealth requires that such transitions be accomplished so as to assure continuity <br>in the conduct of the affairs of the state government. Any disruption occasioned by the <br>transfer of the executive power could produce results detrimental to the safety and well-<br>being of the Commonwealth and its people. Accordingly, it is the intent of the General <br>Assembly that appropriate actions be authorized and taken to avoid or minimize any <br>disruption. In addition to the specific provisions contained in KRS 11.210 to 11.260 <br>directed toward that purpose, it is the intent of the General Assembly that all officers of <br>the state government so conduct the affairs of the state government for which they <br>exercise responsibility and authority as to be mindful of problems occasioned by <br>transitions in the office of Governor, to take appropriate lawful steps to avoid or <br>minimize disruptions that might be occasioned by the transfer of the executive power and <br>otherwise to promote orderly transitions in the office of Governor.
