GOP bills to strip power from Beshear advance, though chief justice slows courts bill Joe Sonka, Louisville Courier Journal
FRANKFORT The Republican supermajority of the Kentucky General Assembly on Friday sped through more bills aimed at shifting power away from Gov. Andy Beshear.
That includes the Senate s top priority bill, which could be one of several given final passage and sent to the governor s desk Saturday just five days into the 2021 session.
Senate Bill 1, which would limit a governor s powers under a declared emergency such as Beshear s many COVID-19 orders to 30 days unless authorized by the legislature, was amended Thursday to go even further, requiring the governor to receive the permission of the attorney general to suspend any statute during an emergency.
