Amanda Bill Unanimously Passes House
KENTUCKY....
House Bill 1, better known as "Amanda’s Bill," unanimously passed the House Tuesday by a vote of 97-0. House Speaker Greg Stumbo, who sponsored the bill, said he expects the Senate will make improvements to the measure, but Senate President David Williams declined to say how he thought the bill might change. If passed, the measure would allow judges to order global positioning devices in some domestic violence cases and give counties the option of using global-positioning devices in other cases such as monitoring those who are released from bond.
