<br><br>65.260 Limitations upon agreements -- Approval by Attorney General or <br>Department for Local Government -- Exemptions. <br>(1) No agreement made pursuant to KRS 65.210 to 65.300 shall relieve any public <br>agency of any obligation or responsibility imposed upon it by law except that to the <br>extent of actual and timely performance thereof by a joint board or other legal or <br>administrative entity created by an agreement made pursuant to KRS 65.210 to <br>65.300, that performance may be offered in satisfaction of the obligation or <br>responsibility. <br>(2) Except as provided in subsections (3) and (4) of this section, every agreement made <br>pursuant to KRS 65.210 to 65.300 shall, prior to and as a condition precedent to its <br>entry into force, be submitted to the Attorney General who shall determine whether <br>the agreement is in proper form and compatible with the laws of this state, except <br>for interlocal agreements between cities, counties, charter counties, urban-county <br>governments, and sheriffs upon approval of the fiscal court, which shall be <br>submitted to the Department for Local Government. The Attorney General or the <br>Department for Local Government shall approve any agreement submitted to them <br>under this subsection unless they find that it does not meet the conditions set forth <br>in KRS 65.210 to 65.300. If the agreement does not meet these conditions, the <br>Attorney General or the Department for Local Government shall detail in writing, <br>addressed to the governing bodies of the public agencies concerned, the specific <br>respects in which the proposed agreement fails to meet the requirements of law. <br>Failure to disapprove an agreement submitted hereunder within sixty (60) days of its <br>submission shall constitute approval thereof. <br>(3) The submission of an interlocal cooperative agreement to the Attorney General or <br>the Department for Local Government as provided in subsection (2) of this section <br>shall not be required for any cooperative agreement which involves only the <br>construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of a municipal road or bridge, <br>provided a written agreement is approved by each of the affected governing bodies. <br>(4) Interlocal cooperative agreements between school boards and counties shall be <br>exempt from the provisions of subsection (2) of this section. <br>Effective: July 15, 2010 <br>History: Amended 2010 Ky.
