Kentucky Revised Statutes

Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) is the name given to the body of laws which govern the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States.

They are created pursuant to the Kentucky Constitution and must conform to the limitations set out in the Constitutions of Kentucky and the United States.

The goal of the committee was to reduce the amount of clutter that had accumulated in Kentucky's prior statutes and draft an organized body of law from what remained.

By law, the Legislative Research Commission is directed to clarify, organize, plan, and draft laws.

It is also responsible for publishing the laws online.
