Day 6 kicks off budget and revenue bills in House A&R committee. They will be passing continuing budgets until they can get to conference committee. #kyga21
Committee passes through the transportation, legislative, judicial and executive branch continuing budgets quickly.
The only one that didn't pass was HB 191, which is Beshear's suggested COVID-19 relief bill w/ $220 million for small businesses & $20m for nonprofits. Chairman Petrie says there needs to be more caution with that until it's known what such funds can/can't be used for. #kyga21

Yes, it’s Saturday morning. Yes, it’s Day 5 of #kyga21 in Frankfort. Image
The Senate is about to gavel in and the House will at 10am. They could give final passage to as many as 8 bills and send them straight to Gov. Beshear's desk, many of which restrict his powers. Background: courier-journal.com/story/news/pol… #kyga21
Thayer suggests that at least one bill is going to be sent to Beshear's desk this afternoon. He also just recommitted HB 1 back to committee. I'm not sure if that committee is going to meet today, but it's not scheduled. #kyga21

Day 4 of the #kyga21 session begins with a joint Appropriations and Revenue committee meeting with Gov. Beshear's budget director John Hicks.

This would normally be the last day before the break until the first Tuesday of February, but GOP leaders extended it to Saturday & M-W.
GOP leaders last night expressed concern that Beshear's budget wasn't conservative enough on assumed revenue and spending (link here), but Hicks says they're going with a conservative estimate of the Consensus Forecasting Group. #kyga21 courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…
Looks like the justice will get a chance to weigh in on HB 3 today.

JUST IN: Kentucky Supreme Court rules unanimously in favor of Gov. Andy Beshear on his COVID-19 emergency regulations. They stay in place.
"The Governor’s orders were, and continue to be, necessary to slow the
spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of all Kentucky citizens..."
"This type of highly contagious etiological hazard is precisely the type of emergency that requires a statewide response and properly serves as a basis for the Governor’s actions under KRS Chapter 39A..."
