HB 769: AN ACT relating to local government.

HB 769 amends Kentucky law (KRS 67.160) to correct a technical error in the distance specification for renting temporary facilities. It clarifies that county officials may rent houses within one mile and one quarter of a public square or courthouse site for temporary courthouses, clerk's offices, or jails during repairs or construction, with costs paid from the county treasury. This is a procedural correction affecting county governments' administrative processes, not a substantive policy change.
