The Commission and its staff, by law and by practice, perform numerous fact-finding and service functions for members of the General Assembly. The Commission provides professional, clerical, and other employees required by legislators when the General Assembly is in session and during the interim period between sessions. These employees, in turn, assist committees and individual members in preparing legislation. Other services include conducting studies and investigations, organizing and staffing committee meetings and public hearings, maintaining official legislative records and other reference materials, furnishing information about the legislature to the public, compiling and publishing administrative regulations, administering a legislative intern program, conducting a presession orientation conference for legislators, and publishing a daily index of legislative activity during sessions of the General Assembly. The Commission also is responsible for statute revision; publication and distribution of the Acts and Journals following sessions of the General Assembly; and maintenance of furnishings, equipment, and supplies for the legislature. The Commission functions as Kentucky’s Commission on Interstate Cooperation in carrying out the program of The Council of State Governments as it relates to Kentucky.

OTA Act–Public Law 92-484 . 68 Section I.-Statements by the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board, TAAC Chairman, and the Director of OTA CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT- CONGRESSMAN MORRIS K. UDALL The year 1983 was very productive for the Office of Technology Assessment. OTA made substantive contributions to about 60 different committees and subcommittees. They ranged from major, comprehen- sive reports to testimony and special analyses, Considering the com- plex and controversial nature of the issues OTA must deal with, it is commendable that its work continues to be given uniformly high marks for quality, fairness, and usefulness. During 1983, OTA was active in such diverse areas as hazardous and nuclear waste management, acid rain analyses, cost containment of health care, technology and trade policy, Love Canal, wood use, and polygraphs. The evidence of testimony, briefings, other requests for assistance, as well as reception of OTA’s products by committees em- phasizes the contribution made by OTA to the legislative process. 2 ● Annual Report to the Congress for 1983 VICE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT- SENATOR TED STEVENS The lives of our citizens and the issues of government have increas- ingly been influenced by science and technology. Congressional com- mittees and Members are drawn into the complexity of science and the controversies involving technology as they face the necessary deci- sions of government.

  • 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. Page 2 C-FAIR Endorsements Sometimes there are many Fairness-supportive candidates in a single race. While it is difficult, the C-FAIR Board of Directors endeavors to choose one candidate for endorsement in each Page 4 race.
