This may take a time or two, but before my year is out, I want to make sure that our members know what we are about. We have a responsibility as members of IIAK to help in the advocacy de- partment. On February 4th, members had the opportunity to do just that with Agents Legislative Day in Frankfort. At the event, agents from our organization, as well as the Kentucky Association of Health Underwrit- ers (KYAHU) and the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) came together as a united agent force. Unfortunately, weather did not permit us to visit the Capitol, however, we were able to hear from our own IIAK Board member, Chip Atkins and Navigator/ Agent subcommittee chairman of the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange Advisory Board, Marcus Woodward who provided us with an update on the Affordable Care Act in Kentucky. In addition, we heard from Rep- resentative Jeff Greer who talked about how important it is for agents to visit with their representatives. We may not have been able to visit with individual representatives dur- ing Agents Legislative Day, however I greatly encourage you, to meet John Funkhouser with them whenever you have the chance.

On John A Funkhouser 4 | January/February 2014 | Kentucky IA www.iiak.org Our Members Say It Best The KRF-SIF’s loss prevention and safety training has meant the world to our company. Prior to becoming members of the Fund, we spent quite a bit on annual safety training. Since the Fund provides this type of training at no charge to its members, we have been able to significantly decrease our training expenses. Jennifer Shaw, HR Manager, Kentucky Lake Oil Company …the main reason we went with the KRF-SIF workers’ comp program is because of their reputation for handling claims management in a manner that is fair not only to the individual, but also to the company holding the policy. The Fund has proven to be able to reduce the cost per claim and overall claims costs. My advice is that if claims management counts, you can count on KRF-SIF. If not, you can go anywhere.

  • Commonwealth of Kentucky Franklin Circuit Court Division I Civil Action No
    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
    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.
