  • Final Reports of the Interim Joint, Special, and Statutory Committees
    FINAL REPORTS OF THE INTERIM JOINT, SPECIAL, AND STATUTORY COMMITTEES 1998-99 Informational Bulletin No. 202 Legislative Research Commission Frankfort, Kentucky December, 1999 FINAL REPORTS OF THE INTERIM JOINT, SPECIAL, AND STATUTORY COMMITTEES 1998-99 Presented to the Legislative Research Commission and the 2000 Kentucky General Assembly Edited by Charles Bush and Tom Lewis Informational Bulletin No. 202 Legislative Research Commission Frankfort, Kentucky December, 1999 This publication was printed with state funds and is available in alternative forms upon request. FOREWORD The Kentucky Constitution limits the meeting of the General Assembly to sixty legislative days in even-numbered years and to a ten-day organizational session in odd- numbered years. Prior to 1968, there was no activity during the interim period between sessions. The 1970s brought great changes in the legislative setting in Kentucky. The activity of legislative committees has steadily increased during each succeeding interim. With the implementation of the constitutional amendment approved in 1979, the interim activity takes on added significance. This amendment, frequently called the Kenton Amendment, changed the election year for legislators from odd- to even-numbered years. Consequently, a legislator serves one year of the term in interim activity before a regular session of the General Assembly is held. With the phased-in implementation of the amendment, the 1984-85 interim marked the first time legislators were elected in even- numbered years and were afforded the opportunity to become familiar with issues and procedures prior to the Regular Session. During the 1998 interim, the Legislative Research Commission authorized the formation of fourteen interim joint committees.

Staking Their Claim: The Impact of Kentucky Women in the Political Process BY PENNY M. MILLER* F or the past 200 years, women have faced tremendous obstacles in staking their claim to influence the politics of "traditionalis- tic" Kentucky.' Their intermittent forceful impact has been felt through- out the Commonwealth in their various roles as voters, elected and appointed officeholders, policymakers, party activists, interest group participants, lobbyists, and campaign contributors; but in such activities Kentucky women have lagged behind national trends. "Seventy-five years after suffrage, women are still the missing majority on Kentucky's ballot."2 "Women's issues" have ebbed and flowed, but always in an ultimately conservative direction, in Kentucky.3 In 1881, the Kentucky * Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Political Science, University of Kentucky.
