The Kentucky General Assembly continued its headlong push Monday to pass an array of bills, including a nearly $12 billion state budget, in their final two workdays before losing the ability to override any gubernatorial vetoes.
With limited public input and shortened committee meetings under the guise of preventing the spread of COVID-19, Republicans have passed a steady wave of legislation over the past three days. As of Monday morning, 45 bills were awaiting Gov. Andy Beshear’s signature or veto.
