(1)In proceedings in the juvenile session of the District Court, no court fees shall be

charged against, and no witness fees shall be allowed to, any party to a petition. No

public officer shall be entitled to receive any fee from the service of process or for

attendance in court in any such proceedings. All other persons acting under orders

of the court may be paid for service of process and attendance as witnesses. The

payments for fees provided by law for like services in civil cases in the Circuit

Court are to be made out of the county treasury. The county or state may

compensate any officer or person in the amount prescribed by law for the

transportation of a child to a place where he will be detained or placed or the return

of any child to the jurisdiction of the court, and funds for this purpose may be

appropriated and paid by the fiscal court.

(2)For the purpose of paying salaries and expenses necessary to carry out the purposes

of KRS Chapters 600 to 645, the fiscal court of any county, or urban-county council

of an urban-county government, may levy taxes and make appropriations within

constitutional limitations. The legislative body of any city also is authorized to

appropriate funds to assist the county in carrying out the purposes of KRS Chapters

600 to 645, including providing facilities for custody and care of children coming

within the purview of KRS Chapters 600 to 645.
