County Attorneys Association, the Kentucky County Clerks Association, the Kentucky County Judge/Executives Association, the
Kentucky Jailers Association, the Kentucky Magistrates and Commissioners Association, the Kentucky Property Valuation
Administrators Association, and the Kentucky Sheriffs Association.
In order for the KACo Legislative Committee to either support or oppose legislation, 75% of the members in attendance
must vote to take that position. Following is a summary of the positions which may be taken by the Legislative Committee and what
they mean.

governments.

side of a bill and KACo does not support any affiliate
association against another affiliate association.
