STATEMENT OF EMERGENCY
603 KAR 10:011E

This emergency repealer is being promulgated in order to repeal three (3) obsolete administrative regulations identified as 603 KAR 10:002 (Definitions for 603 KAR Chapter 10) 603 KAR 10:010 (Static advertising devices), and 603 KAR 10:021 (Electronic advertising devices). These regulations are being replaced by 603 KAR 10:040E which is being filed pursuant to the requirements established within House Bill 328 from the 2021 Regular Session of the General Assembly effective as the result of an emergency provision on March 18, 2021. House Bill 328 was precipitated by an April 24, 2020 decision of the 6th Circuit Federal Court which found KRS 177.830 through 177.890 and 603 KAR 10:002, 10:010, and 10:021 as unconstitutional on their face. The General Assembly directed that the administrative regulation associated with House Bill 328 be promulgated on or before August 1, 2021 and that reasonable standards for advertising devices be enacted to ensure the continued safety of the traveling public. In response to this directive, it was determined that the ordinary administrative regulation process required a longer period of time to complete than was allotted by the General Assembly and as such, implementation of this emergency repealer is required to meet the general assembly deadline. With the establishment of new guidelines and requirements to regulate advertising devices provided for within 603 KAR 10:040E, the immediate repeal of 603 KAR 10:002, 10:010, and 10:021 should be implemented pursuant to this emergency repealer to eliminate conflicts of law. An ordinary administrative regulation will not be filled with this emergency repealer.
