New Laws Go Into Effect
New laws approved during the 2009 session of the Kentucky General Assembly go into effect Thursday.
Among the new laws, are a requirement that home health agencies conduct criminal background checks of employees, sexual offenders will be banned from social networking sites where minors are allowed and flags purchased by state and local governments must be made in the U.S.
Profit entities that collect donated items for resale will be required to place a sign on collection bins stating the collections are not charitable in nature and do not qualify for a charitable deduction. HB 39 exempts 17 year olds, who have enlisted in the military, from being required to obtain an intermediate driver's license and exempts individuals over age 18 from graduated driver's licensing requirements. There are several other laws that go into effect Thursday.
