Lawmakers vote to move cases out of Franklin Circuit Court

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) Kentucky lawmakers gave final passage Wednesday to a bill that would curtail the statewide influence of a circuit court traditionally assigned high-profile cases involving state government.
The measure sent to Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear reflects a long-running goal of many Republican lawmakers to steer cases away from Franklin County Circuit Court. By bypassing that circuit, the bill would dramatically change the way lawsuits involving state government are handled.
Under the bill, cases dealing with the constitutionality of state law, executive orders or administrative regulations would be heard in the plaintiff’s home county. Those cases now are traditionally tried in Franklin Circuit Court, in the state capital of Frankfort.
