KRS 45A.330: Purpose of KRS 45A.330 to 45A.340.

The purpose of KRS 45A.330 to 45A.340 is to prescribe specific standards to guide

public officers and employees in the conduct of their offices or employment, and to

proscribe improper conduct to the extent to which such conduct may be sufficiently

described to enable statutory prohibitions against it to be properly enforced. It is at the

same time recognized that under a free government it is both necessary and desirable that

all citizens should have certain specific interests in the decisions of governmen t, and that

the activities and conduct of public officers and employees should not be unduly

circumscribed.
