  • 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.

  • 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. Kentucky General Assembly Directory iii This publication has been prepared to help you better understand how your General Assembly conducts business during a legislative session.
