      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 227.570, 227.590, 227.610

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 227.590 requires the Recreational Vehicle Certification and Licensure Board to establish rules and administrative regulation governing the standards for manufacture, sale, and alteration of recreational vehicles; and the office of the State Fire Marshal is required to license dealers pursuant to KRS 227.610 and to issue certificates of acceptability pursuant to KRS 227.580. These administrative regulations are intended to assure safety for owners and occupiers of recreational vehicles by regulating dealers, setting standards for construction and inspection. This amendment is necessary to clarify the law and improve the enforcement of safety standards for all recreational vehicles, including a new entity known as park trailers. This amendment was approved by the Recreational Vehicle Board on May 2, 1991.
