General Assembly Clears Amanda's Bill
KENTUCKY....
The General Assembly has passed a compromise version of House Bill 1, intended to protect domestic violence victims. The Senate and House voted unanimously for a version of the measure, known as “Amanda’s Bill,” that would allow judges to order electronic monitoring in domestic-violence cases at their discretion if certain violations of protective orders occur. House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, sponsored the bill in response to the September 11th shooting death of 29 year old Amanda Ross, former fiancee of former state Representative Steve Nunn
