Does medical marijuana have a chance of being legalized in Kentucky?
The plan never even received a hearing earlier this year in the Senate, even after it passed in the House. Author: Chris Williams Updated: 8:08 PM EST December 9, 2020
FRANKFORT, Ky. Advocates pushing to legalize medical marijuana in Kentucky finally saw a victory in the House earlier this year with a 65-30 vote. However, across the Capitol in the Senate, there was complete silence.
In fact, the plan never even received a hearing.
WHAS11 Political Editor Chris Williams asked the Senate president about the chances of medical marijuana being discussed when lawmakers return next year.
FRANKFORT, KYÂ â Gov. Andy Beshear announced Kentucky schools are to close to in-person instruction starting Nov. 23, as the state continues to face a COVID-19 surge. The governor also unveiled new COVID-19 restrictions for bars and restaurants, as well as restrictions on private gatherings, gyms, office-based businesses and venues that host events such as weddings.
Unveiling the changes during a briefing Wednesday afternoon, Beshear said the new restriction for schools applies to both public and private institutions. Middle and high schools are to continue remote instruction until Jan. 4, and elementary schools can reopen on Dec. 7 if their county is not in the COVID-19 red zone and if the school follows all Healthy at School guidance.
