Kentucky Lawmakers Consider Protective Order Monitors
Murder and the violation of a protective order charges filed against former State Representative Steve Nunn have Kentucky lawmakers considering revamping the state's domestic violence laws to require ankle monitors for those served with protective orders. House Speaker Greg Stumbo says the proposal, which may spark a change in the January legislative session, would be costly but not cost prohibitive. If lawmakers approve the proposal, the ankle monitors would alert authorities if orders were violated.
