Kentucky lawmakers face packed agenda to wrap up session

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky lawmakers return Monday to deal with a packed agenda as they head into the final two days of this year’s session. Their work is headlined by a stack of gubernatorial vetoes. The Republican-led legislature is expected to take up override votes on Gov. Andy Beshear’s vetoes of bills ranging from scholarship tax credits to how a U.S. Senate seat is filled if a vacancy occurs. Lawmakers could also consider high-profile bills that haven’t yet cleared the legislature. The proposals would curb no-knock police warrants, relax early voting rules and shield businesses from pandemic-related lawsuits. The legislative session ends Tuesday.
