or who fail to appear in child support cases.

(1)The Office of the Attorney General's designee under KRS 15.802(6) for the

administration of child support may compile a list of the names of persons under its

jurisdiction who have a child support arrearage that equals or exceeds six

months without payment, or fail, after receiving appropriate notice, to comply with

subpoenas or warrants relating to paternity or child support proceedings as provided

by 42 U.S.C. sec. 666(a)(16). The Office of the Attorney General may furnish this

list to the newspaper of general circulation in that county for publication.

(2)The Department of Child Support Services in the Department of Law shall

determine uniform standards for publication. The Office of the Attorney General is

authorized to promulgate the necessary administrative regulations under KRS

Chapter 13A to implement the provisions of this section.

(3)For purposes of this section, "newspaper of general circulation" means a publication

bearing a title or name, regularly issued at least as frequently as once a week for a

definite price, having a second-class mailing privilege, being not less than four

pages, published continuously during the immediately preceding one

(1)year

period, which is published for the dissemination of news of general interest, and is

circulated generally in the political subdivision in which it is published and in

which notice is to be given. In any county where a publication fully complying with

this definition does not exist, the Office of the Attorney General may publish this

list in the publication utilized by the Circuit Court Clerk of the county for

publication of other legal notices in the county. A newspaper that is not engaged in

the distribution of news of general interest to the public, but that is primarily

engaged in the distribution of news of interest to a particular group of citizens, is

not a newspaper of general circulation.
