in recent days with theft- paperwork that now takes
nil passage of Senate Bill
1. This bill, known as the
"reachers Can Teach" bill,
is a wide-ranging measure
that will deliver sweeping
education reform and effec-
tively repeal Common Core
standards,
The measure will change
how Kentucky public
schools are held account-
able for student progress
as well as how teachers
are evaluated. It will place
more control and account-
debate, and media atten-ability in the hands of lo-
tion from across the globe cal school districts, giving
-] wrapped up what started them a stronger voice in
lime from teachers and ad-
rninistrators. The measure
passed by wide margins
and with nearly unanimous
support in both the Sen-
ate and House. It has been
delivered to the governor's
office to be signed into law.
In addition to passing ma-
jor bills this week, we over-
rode four vetoes issued
by the governor shortly
before we returned to the
Capitol on March 29 after a
two-week recess. The gov-
ernor's four vetoes focused
on measures dealing with
the regulation of drones,
cludes provisions to re-
move licensing restrictions
that make it harder for
felons to find jobs. It also
makes improvements in
reentry substance abuse
supervision.
House Bill 13 lays out the
foundations for a new veter-
ans' nursing home in West-
ern Kentucky.
House Bill 128 will en-
sure that public schools
are allowed to offer elective
Bible literacy classes to stu-
dents.
House Bill 206 establish-
es the Dual Credit Schol-
arship Program, allowing
or duty location that is 100
miles or more from the
worker's home.
House Bill 522 is another
bill aimed at helping state
agency minors by allow-
ing children who are at
least 17 years old to seek
a high school equivalency
diploma.
House Bill 524 will help
tight human trafficking by
requiring public schools
to display the National Hu-
man Trafficking Reporting
Hotline information and
will require the hotline
number of the National Hu-
man Trafficking Resource
