Summary

The act amends statutes to give Kentucky State Police officers and certain trooper classes the same peace‑officer powers and immunities as sheriffs and local police, and it allows them to execute any arrest warrant. It also creates a commissioner‑approved framework for off‑duty police work and outlines how state‑owned uniforms, equipment, and vehicles are provided, managed, and disposed of. Finally, it directs the Finance and Administration Cabinet to purchase and label official vehicles for state officials and agencies.
