General Assembly Actions
KENTUCKY....
House Bill 189, a bill that includes a provision to allow dating partners to seek emergency protective orders in domestic violence cases, cleared the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
A proposed state constitutional amendment seeking to restore the voting rights of certain felons passed the House Wednesday 83-16. To reach the ballot, the proposal must be approved by the Senate. It would not apply to people convicted of "intentional" murder, rape, sodomy or sexual contact with a minor, but, if approved, other felons would regain voting rights after completing their sentences.
On Wednesday, a bill that would have required children under 8 years old and between 40 and 57 inches tall to be secured in booster seats failed to win enough support to advance from the Senate Transportation Committee. Kentucky lawmakers passed legislation during the 2008 General Assembly requiring children under 7 years old between 40 and 50 inches tall to ride in the seats.
