Operative words

It is now necessary to restrict travel by residents of other states into Kentucky except in specific circumstances and to require residents of other states who travel into Kentucky for any reason other than those specific circumstances to self-quarantine for 14 days after entering Kentucky.

Enforcement

KRS ch. 39A

Notes

The travel restriction is the recital-stated purpose; the ordering paragraphs (OCR) suspend statutes restricting retiree reemployment and impose the inbound quarantine; only the retiree provisions survived into Q3 2021
