SENATIIII BIIIIIIIIBII STIIIIM'S lEflISlIITIIIE III’IIIITE
Week 2 of the 2021 Legis-
lative Session
The Kentucky General
Assembly is making the
most of the 30-day legisla-
tive session. In the first
eight days back in Frank-
fort, lawmakers have al-
ready delivered seven bills
to the governor’s desk. I
am happy to report that
we are moVing forward in
deliberation, but with pur-
pose. .
The past ten months
have been challenging for ~
all of us. Anxieties sur-
rounding the COVID-19
pandemic have extended
beyond just the dangerous
health risk the virus poses
to the vulnerable to indi-
rect consequences affect-
ing students, businesses,
and mental health; side
effects of government ac-
tions. The passage of prior-
ity House and Senate bills
shows the legislature’s
commitment to being a
co-equal branch of govern-
ment and ensuring the rep-
resentative branch of state
government has a seat at
the table where life-altering
decisions are considered.
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1)—
This bill better defines ex-
ecutive authOrity during
a state of emergency. It
brings the representative
branch of government to
the table to be a voice for
the communities its mem-
bers represent. The bill
will require legislative au-
thorization before the gov-
ernor can extend an execu-
tive order beyond 30 days
if the order places restric-
tions on various public and
private entities. The same
requirement would exist
for emergency executive
orders. Similarly, it would
require mutual agreement
between the governor and
the attorney general to
suspend state statute dur—
ing a state of emergency.
Taking a less arbitrary and
more targeted approach to
addressing a state of emer-
gency, SBl would allow 10-
cal officials to request an
extension of executive or—
ders only for their area and
only for the amount of time
they ask.
SB 2—For far too long,
governors and their admin-
istrations have been able to
blur the lines between exec-
utive and legislative branch
authorities by making law
through the use and abuse
of the emergency regulato-
ry process. SB 2 enhances
this process’s legislative
and public oversight by re-
quiring an expedited public
hearing and written com-
ment period and allowing
a legislative committee to
review, amend, or find an
emergency regulation de-
ficient.
House Bill (HB) 1 Pro-
vides clarity and reas-
surances amid a state of
emergency for businesses,
schools, parents, teachers,
students, and religious in-
stitutions that they may
remain open and opera-
tional if they follow a com-
prehensive operating plan
detailing how they plan to
adhere to Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Preven-
tion (CDC) guidelines—or
state guidelines—which-
ever is least restrictive.
Other bills that have
reached the governor’s
desk are two pro-er mea-
sures. SB 9, the Born
Alive Infant Protection
Act, which the legislature v
passed last year before
the governor vetoed it, has
been sent to him again. Un-
fortunately, last year‘ s veto
came after the legislative
veto override period, and
lawmakers could not over-
ride it. The bill ensures that
a baby born-alive in any cir-
cumstance receives lifesav-
ing care. v
HB Z—Gives Kentucky’s
Attorney General the au-
thority to seek an injunc-
tion and civil or criminal
penalties for violations of
statutes and administrative
regulations guiding the
practice of abortion. Cur-
rent law only allows the
Attorney General to take
action if the Cabinet for
Health and Family Servic-
es secretary requests that
he or she intervene.
I and other General As-
sembly members, who
value the sanctity of hu-
man life, are eager to over-
ride any vetoes the gover-
nor chooses to issue. Last
week, Kentucky Right to
Life held a pro-life rally
alongside the attorney gen-
eral and lawmakers restat-
ing commitment to defend-
ing these pro-life bills in
the court system.
Additional bills that
made full passage this past
week include HB 3, which
establishes that challenges
to the constitutionality of
state statutes, executive
orders, administrative
regulations, or cabinet or-
ders shall be filed in the
county of the plaintiff’s
residence. Currently, all
suits filed against the state
go through the Franklin
Circuit Court and before a
limited number of potential
judges, essentially creating
a “super circuit” V
HB 5 would improve
oversight of the reorga-
nization of state boards.
Governors have used these
boards to fulfill political
agendas and favors in the
past In fact, over the last
five administrations, there
have been over 445 reorga-
nizations of state agencies,
cabinets, or boards. The
bill would require execu-
tive branch and board reor-
ganizations to have a vote
of the General Assembly
and it refines gubernatorial
authority when the legisla-
ture is not in session.
The Constitution of Ken-,
tucky requires that the
General Assembly adjourn
following the first part of
the session. Wednesday,
January 13, was our final
day before adjourning in
compliance with that con-
stitutional requirement.
The legislature will recon-
vene for the second part
of the session on Tuesday,
February 2. Before ad—
journing, the House and
Senate have each submit-
ted their respective budget
bill. With the two chambers
not concurring on the bills,
the next step in the process
is for appointed members
of each chamber to come
together in a conference
committee to finalize an
agreement to be voted on
and sent to the governor.
Budget bills include HB
192, the executive branch'
budget; HB 193, the trans-
portation budget; HB 194,
the legislative branch bud-
get; and HB 195, the judi-
cial branch budget. You
can access each of these
bills at legislature.ky.gov.
I am in the process of
scheduling various stops
across the 21st District in
the next few weeks. I am
excited to interact with
constituents. At this time,
two are two “legislative cof-
fee” events scheduled, and
plans for stops in all other
counties are in develop-
ment
A legislative coffee will
take place in laurel County
on Tuesday, January 19
from 8 am. to 9 am. at the
London Community Center
at 529 South Main Street
in London. I am excited to
have Senate Transporta-
tion Committee Chairman,
Senator Jimmy Higdon,
join me. I want to thank
the London-Laurel County
Chamber of Commerce for
sponsoring this event.
V Additionally, I will be
visiting Jackson County on
Thursday, January 28 start-
ing at 8:30 am. in the up-
stairs courtroom of the old
Courthouse at 100 Main
Street in McKee.
I look forward to Visit-
ing each county to provide
an in-person update on the
work my fellow lawmakers
and I are doing in Frank-
fort. Stay tuned to my leg-
islative updates and your
local newspaper for the an-
nouncement of additional
plans.
, It is a true honor to rep-
resent Laurel, Jackson,
Estill, Powell, Menifee,
and Bath Counties in the
Kentucky State Senate. If
you have any questions
pertaining to these public
policy issues or any other
matter of importance to
you, do not hesitate to con-
tact my office toll-free by
calling 502-564—8100. You
can also email me at bran—
don.storm@lrc.ky.gov. Stay
safe. God bless.
