Local Records grants provide funds to assist local governments with the protection and preservation of public records, and the improvement of local government records management programs.
These services are administered by the Department's program divisions: Field Services, State Library Services, and Public Records. Direct services include cash grants, library materials, and bookmobiles.
No General Fund is provided for statutory state aid, suspending KRS 171.201.
The budget includes a reduction of $705,000 in General Fund each fiscal year due to expiring Public Library Facility Construction grants under KRS 171.027.
