      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 151B.025(7) designates the Department for Technical Education as the sole state agency for developing and approving state plans required by federal law as prerequisites to receiving federal funds for vocational-technical or technology education.

      Section 1. Pursuant to the authority vested in the Department for Technical Education, the 2001-2004 Kentucky State Plan for Vocational Technical Education is hereby prepared and approved in accordance with 20 USC 2301 through 2415, the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Act of 1998, and submitted to the U.S. Secretary of Education for approval. This document shall be referred to as the Kentucky State Plan for Vocational Technical Education.

      Section 2. Incorporation by Reference. (1) The 2001-2004 Kentucky State Plan for Vocational Technical Education, May 1, 2000, is incorporated by reference.
