Kentucky Politics Distilled: A Flurry Of Last-Minute Activity In the General Assembly

Kentucky Public Radio

This week we look at the bills that passed this session — many of them late Thursday night. The legislation includes a requirement that public schools prominently display “In God We Trust,” a decrease in the amount you can be compensated for the power your solar panels add to the energy grid, and four abortion-related bills. The bills will now head to the governor’s office.
