(Ky.Const. \u00a7 91).

As the chief prosecutor, the Attorney General is the Chairman of the Kentucky Prosecutors Advisory Council, which supervises the prosecutors of Kentucky (KRS 15.700, KRS 15.705).

The Attorney General holds an ex officio seat on various Kentucky state boards and agencies.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The Attorney General of Kentucky is elected for a four-year term in the same year other statewide officers are elected, rather than being appointed as in some states such as Alaska. A 1992 amendment to the Kentucky Constitution permits the Attorney General of Kentucky to serve two consecutive terms. (Ky.Const. \u00a7 93). The Attorney General appoints a deputy and various Assistants to the Attorney General, who have the power to act on his behalf. (KRS 15.100(1)).The Attorney General of Kentucky is currently Republican Daniel Cameron. Cameron’s predecessor, Democrat Andy Beshear, resigned from the post on December 10, 2019 to be sworn in as Governor of Kentucky. Beshear appointed Cameron to serve out the remainder of his unexpired term on December 17, 2019. Cameron, who is the first African American ever to hold the position and the first Republican to hold the office since 1948, was elected to a full term of office in November 2019 and was sworn in for that term on January 6, 2020.[2][3]List of attorneys general of Kentucky[edit]#NamePolitical partyTerm1George NicholasFederalist1792\u201317932John BreckinridgeDemocratic-Republican1793\u201317973James BlairDemocratic-Republican1797\u201318204Joseph M.
