200.501 Findings of General Assembly. The Kentucky General Assembly finds that services to children are provided by various
departments and agencies at both the state and local level, often without appropriate
policy collaboration and service coordination. The General Assembly declares that the
purpose of KRS 200.501 to 200.509 is to establish a structure for coordinated policy
development, comprehensive planning, and collaborative budgeting for services to
children with an emotional disability or severe emotional disability and their families. It
is further the intention of the General Assembly to build on the existing resources and to
design and implement a coordinated service system for children with an emotional
disability or severe emotional disability that is community based and centered on the
needs of the individual child and family. Children with a severe emotional disability who
are receiving institutional care or are at risk of institutional placement shall be given
priority for services pursuant to KRS 200.501 to 200.509. Effective: July 14, 1992
