(1)When, during a state of emergency, it becomes imprudent, inexpedient, or

impossible to conduct the affairs of state government at the state capital, the

Governor shall, as often as the exigencies of the situation require, by proclamation,

designate a temporary location for the seat of government at the place within this

Commonwealth deemed advisable, and shall take action and issue orders necessary

for an orderly transition of the affairs of state government to the temporary location.

If practicable, the temporary location designated by the Governor shall conform to

that provided for in the current Kentucky Emergency Operations Plan. The

temporary location shall remain as the seat of government until the Governor

establishes a new location under this section, or until the emergency is ended and

the seat of government is returned to its normal location.

(2)While the seat of government remains at the temporary location, all official acts

required by law to be performed at the seat of government by any officer,

independent agency, division, or authority of this Commonwealth, including the

convening and meeting of the General Assembly in regular or special session, shall

be as valid and binding when performed at that temporary location as if performed

at the normal location.
