Mar. 16 FRANKFORT Lawmakers began another busy day of passing bills Tuesday in a Capitol shrouded in fog from the Kentucky River, moving legislation related to broadband access, executive powers, tax breaks and education.
At the end of the day, lawmakers will lose the ability to override any vetoes issued by Gov. Andy Beshear for any other bills they pass during the 2021 legislative session. The Republican-led General Assembly is scheduled to reconvene on March 29 and 30 to consider any vetoes issued by the Democratic governor and pass additional legislation.
Observing the five days left for the General Assembly with dozens of bills clinging to life and a budget looming, it's like being a cat watching a ping pong game.
After one of the most emotional and confrontational debates in Kentucky s General Assembly this year, the state Senate Thursday night approved a bill that would make insulting a police officer a crime.
