NAACP Kentucky State Conference President Marcus Ray of Elizabethtown joined Gov. Andy Beshear, Rep. Kim Moser, Sen. Julie Raque Adams and others from the Kentucky Smart on Crime Coalition for a virtual bill signing ceremony of House Bill 497 and Senate Bill 84. âToday is a great day as we celebrate two new bills that recently passed the General Assembly,â Beshear said at Fridayâs ceremony. âThese measures are important reforms that improve post incarceration outcomes. As with many criminal justice issues, these measures say as much, if not more, about who we are as people as they do about the people whose care they govern.â
