209.090 Legislative intent. The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky recognizes that some adults of
the Commonwealth are unable to manage their own affairs or to protect themselves from
abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Often such persons cannot find others able or willing to
render assistance. The General Assembly intends, through this chapter, to establish a
system of protective services designed to fill this need and to assure their availability to
all adults. It is also the intent of the General Assembly to authorize only the least
possible restriction on the exercise of personal and civil rights consistent with the person's
needs for services, and to require that due process be followed in imposing such
restrictions. Effective: July 15, 1980
History: Created 1980 Ky. Acts ch. 372, sec. 1, effective July 15, 1980.
