HB662

AN ACT relating to the regulation of low voltage battery-charged security fences by local governments.

Chamber Passed·3/6/26

Kentucky HB662 allows low voltage battery-charged security fences on non-residential properties without local government permits.

Kentucky HB662 creates a new section in the Kentucky Revised Statutes to allow low voltage battery-charged security fences on properties not used for residential purposes. These fences must meet specific criteria, such as being ten feet high or two feet higher than any surrounding nonelectric barrier, and must include warning signs. The bill exempts these fences from local government permits, except for alarm permits required by local governments. The fences must also be interfaced with an alarm system and use a battery of twelve volts or less.
