FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX 18) â A Franklin Circuit Court judge has issued a temporary injunction on House Bill 1, which would allow businesses, schools, and churches to remain open during an emergency as long as they follow CDC or state guidelines.
The restraining order was issued by Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd and will last for 30 days.
The restraining order comes just one day after Gov. Beshear filed a lawsuit against lawmakers regarding six bills, one of which was House Bill 1. That lawsuit was filed shortly after the Kentucky General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to override Gov. Beshear s vetoes of those six bills.
