    2017 Results for Business

    Results for Business2017 A record year of legislative victories. Chamber’s Agenda Took Center Stage in 2017 Session The 2017 General Assembly can be characterized as nothing less than historic. The business community has advocated for decades on issues like right to work, repeal of the prevailing wage, medical review panels and charter schools, all of which were passed into law this session and will fundamentally affect how Kentucky does business. From the fi rst week, it was clear that House Speaker Jeff Hoover and Senate President Robert Stivers had a clear business-minded focus, with the legislature passing two transformational business priorities – right to work and repeal of the prevailing wage – in just fi ve days. Their strong leadership provided masterful navigation of the session and led to the passage of a focused agenda while avoiding such unnecessary distractions as “bathroom bills.” In addition to right to work and repeal of the prevailing wage, the legislature passed a bill that establishes medical review panels, a commonsense legal reform measure the Chamber has championed for many years. Medical review panels legislation is an important step in improving Kentucky’s legal Dave Adkisson liability climate to make our state more competitive. PRESIDENT & CEO Passed in the last few days of session was a bill to allow charter schools in Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Kentucky. Until the passage of House Bill 520, Kentucky was one of only seven states to prohibit charter schools. A strong education system is a top priority for the Chamber, and allowing charter schools is an important step to help improve the achievement of students and develop a globally competitive workforce.

    COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY FRANKLIN CIRCUIT COURT DIVISION I CIVIL ACTION NO. 18-CI-379 - AND - CIVIL ACTION NO. 18-CI-414 COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY ex rel. ANDY BESHEAR, ATTORNEY GENERAL, et al. PLAINTIFFS v. MATTHEW G. BEVIN, in his official capacity as Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, et al. DEFENDANTS PLAINTIFFS’ BRIEF ON THE MERITS The Plaintiffs, the Commonwealth of Kentucky ex rel. Andy Beshear, Attorney General, the Kentucky Education Association (“KEA”), and the Kentucky State Lodge Fraternal Order of the Police (“FOP”), pursuant to the Court’s April 20, 2018 scheduling order, tender the following Brief on the Merits. INTRODUCTION The Plaintiffs are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. In passing Senate Bill 151 (“SB 151”), the Defendants violated critical provisions of Kentucky’s Constitution, Bill of Rights, and state statutes. These provisions are mandatory, and their violation voids SB 151 in its entirety. Accordingly, this Court should grant judgment for the Plaintiffs as a matter of law. On March 29, 2018, the House recessed just after 2:00 p.m., to hold a previously unannounced meeting of the House Committee on State Government. The meeting was held in a small conference room from which the public was excluded. When they arrived, legislators learned that the agenda (also unannounced) contained just one bill: SB 151. SB 151 – an 11-page sewer bill – was called, and then immediately amended, stripping out all of its original sewer language and substituting 291 pages of new legislation purporting to overhaul Kentucky’s public employee retirement systems. SB 151 was then voted out of Committee without public hearings, without an actuarial analysis or fiscal note, and before most legislators could even read the bill.

    2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’s Guide February 2010 Paid for with state funds. Available in alternative form by request. Legislative Research Commission LRC Legislative Research Commission Foreword When the fi rst Kentucky General Assembly met in 1792, its members chose the term “commonwealth” to describe Kentucky. While there is no legal difference between a commonwealth and a state, Kentucky’s early leaders perhaps wanted to assert an indepen- dence of ideals and governance. By defi nition, a commonwealth is a political unit founded on law, united for the common good, and with supreme authority vested in the people. This ultimately de- fi nes Kentucky: government by the people and for the people. Like most states, Kentucky has a part-time citizen legislature with members from diverse backgrounds and communities. All 138 members, however, serve year-round as legislators, representing constituents, helping them solve problems, and studying new ideas. Of Kentucky’s three branches of government—execu- tive, judicial, and legislative—the legislative is the one closest to the people and the one into which Kentuck- ians have the most direct input. Consequently, it is benefi cial to both the legislature and our citizens that the work of the General Assembly be understood and the legislative process be used to its full potential.

    VOTE Tuesday, Nov. 6

    VOTE Tuesday, Nov. 6 This year C-FAIR, the political action committee (PAC) of the Fairness Campaign, proudly endorsed more than 90 candidates for state and local offices across Kentucky in the 2018 General Election. We are proud to share them with you in this newsletter, which includes a full list of endorsed candidates and brief endorsement narratives in a few select races. You might be wondering why you do not see endorsements in the many important races for Congress across Kentucky, but as a state PAC, C-FAIR only endorses candidates for state and local office, not federal office. These endorsements represent hundreds of volunteer hours performed by C-FAIR Board Members and community volunteers, who interviewed a record number of candidates for our PAC—more than 120 in total! All candidates in races being considered by C-FAIR were mailed an instruction letter to their address filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State or County Clerk. Those letters provided a link to an online candidate survey. Candidates who completed the survey, and whose answers were viewed favorably by the C-FAIR Board of Directors, were invited to an interview with a team of C-FAIR Board Members and supporters, who interviewed each candidate in a particular race in person General Election ‘18 or by phone. Following the interview the teams made recommendations of endorsement to the C-FAIR Board of Directors, which issues final endorsement decisions.
