178.337 Removal of road from system -- When city streets in system.

(1) After an engineering and traffic investigation and the receipt of recommendations

by the county road engineer, a county through road or a portion thereof established

or maintained as provided in KRS 178.330 may be detached from the county

through road system. The fiscal court or the consolidated local government shall

cause the proposed deletion to be marked on a map to be deposited with county road

engineer and to be open to public inspection. The same procedure set forth in KRS

178.330 for the establishment or maintenance of a county through road system shall

the proposed deletion from the system shall conform to KRS 424.130(1)(b). The

fiscal court or the consolidated local government may in its discretion detach or

retain the road as a part of the county through road system. The decisions of the

fiscal court or the consolidated local government made in accordance with this

section shall be final. Whenever any county through road has been added or

detached from the county through road system in accordance with KRS 178.330 to

178.337, the county road engineer shall accordingly amend the map of the county

through road system, which map shall at all times be available for public inspection

in the office of the county road engineer. Nothing herein shall be construed as

automatically deleting from the county through road system any portion of the

system in territory which becomes incorporated as a city or which becomes annexed

to a city.

(2) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to take from the jurisdiction or control of

the legislative body of any incorporated city or consolidated local government, any

road, bridge, landing, or wharf, or any other thing exclusively under the jurisdiction

or control of such city or a consolidated local government. Provided, however, that

roads within a city in a county containing a city of the first class or a consolidated

local government may be made a part of the county through road system, in

accordance with KRS 178.330 or 178.333, or both, with the agreement of the

legislative body of said city.

(3) Nothing in this chapter shall prevent any fiscal court or a consolidated local

government from acquiring land by gift for public purposes.

Status: in_force

41.470 Legislative findings.

The General Assembly finds that:

(1) Fossil fuels currently supply more than eighty percent (80%) of the world’s primary

energy, and the United States Energy Information Administration still projects

global consumption of fossil fuels to increase steadily at least through 2050;

(2) Restricting the supply of fossil fuels, without an immediate substitute for those

fuels, only serves to raise prices on energy consumers, profoundly impacting the

poorest among us;

(3) Denying financing to American and European fossil energy producers, who are

among the most socially and environmentally responsible companies in the world,

only serves to support hostile nations and less responsible producers;

(4) Banks are increasingly denying financing to creditworthy fossil energy companies

solely for the purpose of decarbonizing their lending portfolios and marketing their

environmental credentials, to the detriment of potential returns for their

shareholders;

(5) Institutional investors are divesting from fossil energy companies and pressuring

corporations to commit to the goal of the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas

emissions to zero by 2050;

(6) Large investment firms are colluding to force fossil energy companies to

cannibalize their existing businesses and direct time and attention away from

increasing shareholder returns;

(7) Corporations are boycotting fossil energy companies by refusing to provide them

with products or services; and

(8) Energy-producing states, when financially prudent, should avoid doing business

with companies that are attacking the industries that substantially contribute to their

state budgets.

election to be subject to or relieve it of any liability under this chapter.

(3) Any employer who has complied with subsection (2) of this section may withdraw

its acceptance of this chapter, by filing written notice with the commissioner of the

withdrawal of its acceptance. A withdrawal shall become effective 60 days after the

compensation, whichever last occurs. The withdrawal shall not be effective until the

employer shall theretofore post notice of the withdrawal where the affected

employee or employees work or shall otherwise notify the employees of withdrawal.

of workers' compensation self-insured employers who had claims for injuries that

occurred prior to the creation of the workers' compensation self-insurance guaranty

payments to workers' compensation claimants injured prior to March 1, 1997, when

depleted.

(6) The Department of Workers' Claims shall appoint an attorney on its staff or special

counsel to represent the self-insurance fund in all proceedings brought to enforce

claims against or on behalf of the self-insurance fund. Necessary expenses for this

purpose including salaries or special counsel shall be borne by the self-insurance

fund.
