Due to the central geographical location of the Commonwealth with respect to the hazardous materials industry, and since most predictions indicate that the amount of hazardous material in transport should substantially increase in the future, it is the intent of KRS § 174.405 to KRS § 174.425 to provide for the public health and safety of the citizens and to protect the environment of the Commonwealth when any hazardous material is being transported within, or, in the case of radioactive materials, within or through this state.
