Its time to admit there is no more emergency regarding COVID-19. We lived under the premise of 15 days to flatten the curve into almost a year of masks and lockdowns, economic turmoil and rights infringement. Many of us would like to get back to normal, but right now we are dealing with a chronic "new normal." We know what this virus is, it's dangerous to a certain segment of society and we must practice caution with them, but for most of that get it we face a 99% survival ra

HB 1 is the bill that allows for the State to Reopen business/schools, and SB 1 added some reforms to the Governor's Emergency Powers. He vetoed both of them on 1/19/2021. The Legislature overturned his vetoes on 2/2/2021. The Governor the filed a temporary injunction against HB 1 in Franklin County Circuit Court with Judge Shepherd, a highly liberal judge that the majority of the time sides with Democrat politicians. This injunction and ruling was filed and granted on 2/3/20

House Bill 1 pertains to reopening the economy in 2021, it is a temporary band-aid on the current situation which the legislature will revisit next session. Here are the basics of what it does. We fully expect the Governor to veto HB 1, and the General Assembly will have to overturn his veto. It allows a business, nonprofit, or school to reopen (including in-person services) as long as it has a plan for doing so per the CDC or Executive Branch (Governor), whichever is least r

Last year the General Assembly waited until the last minute to pass SB 9 and gave the Governor the opportunity to veto the Born Alive Act (same bill number this year). The Born Alive Act requires life saving measures to be given to a baby who survives an abortion. The Kentucky General Assembly has quickly passed it in both chambers at the beginning of the session this year. Now the bill is waiting on the Governor's signature. We believe he will likely veto SB 9 again this ye

The first week and a half of the Session has come to a close as they were in session from January 5th though January 13th. So, now it’s time to take a look at what they have passed. First up is our laymen’s breakdown of Senate Bill 1, the Senate’s version of Emergency Powers Reform. We are not going to hit every single piece of this legislation just the highlights. We agree that most of the bill is good, are there parts we would like to have improved, but this is a start. Ho

As everyone knows in early March of this year our country was faced with COVID-19, which triggered a lot of executive action by Governors across the United States. Governors instituted several lockdown procedures in order to "flatten the curve" so our medical industry would not be overrun with an excessive amount of COVID-19 cases. This lockdown was only supposed to be for 2 weeks, but here in Kentucky it turned into about 8 weeks of strict lockdown, give or take a few depend

Senate Bill 9 was sent to the Governor on the last day of the legislative session for him to either sign into law or veto. The Governor also had the option of not signing the bill and waiting 10 days and it becoming law. In a nut shell the bill would ban allowing babies to die that where born alive. This is a new and creative way the pro-abortion crowd has come up with allowing a mother another avenue to deny her child life after the point an abortion could be performed, ye
