$150,000 of the Tobacco Settlement payments received in each fiscal year is appropriated 6
to the Attorney General for the state’s diligent enforcement of noncompliant 7
nonparticipating manufacturers. 8
(2) Expert Witnesses: In addition to such funds as may be appropriated, the 9
Office of the Attorney General may request from the Finance and Administration 10
Cabinet, as a necessary government expense, such funds as may be necessary for expert 11
witnesses. Upon justification of the request, the Finance and Administration Cabinet shall 12
provide up to $3,000,000 for the 2024-2026 fiscal biennium for this purpose to the Office 13
of the Attorney General from the General Fund Surplus Account (KRS 48.700) or the 14
Budget Reserve Trust Fund Account (KRS 48.705). Without charge, the Department of 15
Insurance shall provide the Office of the Attorney General any available information to 16
assist in the preparation of a rate hearing pursuant to KRS 304.17A-095. Expenditures 17
under this subsection shall be reported to the Interim Joint Committee on Appropriations 18

the Office of the Attorney General to perform the legal work and compensate the Office 7
of the Attorney General for the legal services. 8
(6) Civil Action Representation: To ensure adequate representation of the 9
interest of the Commonwealth and to protect the financial condition of the Kentucky 10
Retirement Systems, it has been determined that it is necessary to allow the Attorney 11
General appropriate authority to engage private lawyers as co-counsel in Civil Action No. 12
17-CI-01348. Due to the highly complex and specialized nature of that litigation, KRS 13
Chapter 45A, et seq. would prevent the Attorney General from engaging counsel of his 14
choice. Accordingly, to protect the interest of the Commonwealth, and notwithstanding 15
the requirements of KRS Chapter 45A, et seq., which are hereby waived in respect to the 16
Attorney General retaining private lawyers to prosecute Civil Action No. 17-CI-01348, 17
the Attorney General is vested with the authority to hire and pay counsel of his choice on 18

(1) General Purpose: This Part prescribes the policy implementing aspects of the 17
national settlement agreement between the tobacco industry and the collective states as 18
described in KRS 248.701 to 248.727. In furtherance of that agreement, the General 19
Assembly recognizes that the Commonwealth of Kentucky is a party to the Phase I 20
Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) between the Participating Tobacco Manufacturers 21
and 46 Settling States which provides reimbursement to states for smoking-related 22
expenditures made over time. 23
(2) State's MSA Share: The Commonwealth’s share of the MSA is equal to 24
1.7611586 percent of the total settlement amount. Payments under the MSA are made to 25
the states annually in April of each year. 26

provided in the MSA, including inflation adjustments, volume adjustments, previously 2
settled states adjustments, and the nonparticipating manufacturers adjustment. 3
(4) Distinct Identity of MSA Payment Deposits: The General Assembly has 4
determined that it shall be the policy of the Commonwealth that all Phase I Tobacco 5
Settlement payments shall be deposited to the credit of the General Fund and shall 6
maintain a distinct identity as Phase I Tobacco Settlement payments that shall not lapse to 7
the credit of the General Fund surplus but shall continue forward from each fiscal year to 8
the next fiscal year to the extent that any balance is unexpended. 9
(5) MSA Payment Estimates and Adjustments: Based on the official estimates 10
of the Consensus Forecasting Group, the amount of MSA payments expected to be 11
received in fiscal year 2024-2025 is $97,800,000 and in fiscal year 2025-2026 is 12
$93,100,000. It is recognized that payments to be received by the Commonwealth are 13
estimated and are subject to change. If MSA payments received are less than the official 14
estimates, appropriation reductions shall be applied as follows: after exempting 15
appropriations for debt service, the Attorney General, and the Department of Revenue, 50 16
percent to the Agricultural Development Fund, 30 percent to the Early Childhood 17
Development Fund, and 20 percent to the Health Care Improvement Fund. If MSA 18
payments received exceed the official estimates, appropriation increases shall be applied 19
as follows: after exempting appropriations for debt service, the Attorney General, and the 20
Department of Revenue, 50 percent to the Agricultural Development Fund, 30 percent to 21
