Legislative Update
2017 KENTUCKY LEAGUE OF CITIES LEGISLATIVE UPDATE KLC.ORG from KLC’s legislative team Dear members and friends of KLC: As we look back over the 2017 legislative session, the legislative team at the Kentucky League of Cities is reminded of all we accomplished this session and of the challenges still ahead. The Kentucky General Assembly passed 190 bills, including nine KLC legislative initiatives. KLC supported another 100 bills, and the General Assembly passed 36 percent of those. Not a single bill opposed by KLC became law. We couldn’t have seen such success if not for the help of our members, the support of dedicated lawmakers, and the hard work of our staff. All new bills passed in 2017 that affect cities are included on the following pages for your review. Kentucky cities can be encouraged by the impact the state’s new right-to-work law is already having on our communities. We are pleased the state now has pension spiking reform, cities have better alcohol regulations, and there is more peace of mind about the cost of training new law enforcement officers. Those were just some of the KLC initiatives passed this session. Thank you to every city official who reached out to legislators this year to help make it happen. Now, as we begin the work of looking to the 2018 legislative session, we are also preparing for a possible special session in 2017. Governor Bevin has said he plans to call a special session to address pension reform. KLC is working with other stakeholders to ensure separation of the County Employees Retirement System (CERS) is included in the special session.
