Greenup County fiscal court holds first reading of ordinance on street‑legal special purpose vehicles
Summary
The Greenup County Fiscal Court conducted the first reading of an ordinance adopting KRS 186.077 definitions for street‑legal special purpose vehicles and scheduled a special meeting for a second reading later in June; the court clarified the ordinance applies to county jurisdiction, not individual cities.
The Greenup County Fiscal Court on June 10 conducted a first reading of an ordinance that adopts the definitions set out in Kentucky Revised Statutes 186.077 for street‑legal special purpose vehicles and applies countywide where authorized by local ordinance.
Presiding Officer introduced the ordinance and said the measure clarifies that the county ordinance would apply to county jurisdiction and that the eight cities retain authority to decide whether to allow those vehicles within their municipal boundaries. County Attorney Matthew Warnick told the court the text adopts the KRS definition and recommended clarifying language to avoid conflict between city and county jurisdictions. The court approved the first reading and scheduled a special meeting for the ordinance's second reading later in June. Warnick stated the statute became law as part of 2025 Kentucky Acts Chapter 85 and referenced KRS 186.077 as the governing definition.
The ordinance will return for a formal second reading before the court makes action final. No vote on final adoption was taken at this meeting; the presiding officer said the second reading will occur at a specially scheduled session later this month.
Provenance: The ordinance text and KRS citation were read as part of the first reading (see transcript excerpts from the court discussion and the county attorney’s comments). The special meeting for the second reading was announced at the end of the first reading.
