The state’s six-year contract with Deloitte Consulting to develop the replacement system is for $55.5 million, cabinet spokeswoman Jill Midkiff said. The cost of the new system, including ongoing operations and maintenance expenses, will be supported by $85 million in funding approved by lawmakers, she said.

Once operational, the upgraded system will provide easier access for Kentuckians filing jobless claims as well as for staff members who use the system to assist people seeking employment, the state said.Officer who arrested Scottie Scheffler disciplined for not having bodycam activated
