And there it is, HB 28 to ban private employers from having vaccine rules is scheduled to get a hearing and vote in House State Govt committee tomorrow.
In addition to the economic development mystery shell bill I mentioned earlier, this State Govt committee will also have an additional mystery shell bill in HB 516. I’m also told HB 28 will have a committee sub that isn’t public yet.
House Vets committee also has a mystery shell bill at 9am meeting on military affairs, HB 636. apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/22RS/hb…
I’ve seen an HB 28 committee sub floating around that has completely axed the ban on private employers having vaccine policies, only keeping the ban on state & local governments and colleges from having COVID vaccine requirements.

KY Senate budget committee going over changes made to HB 1, the House GOP’s 2-year budget plan Image
Budget passes committee on party-line vote. McGarvey says Democrats still haven’t seen the committee sub and were only briefed on it by McDaniel an hour ago.
According to McDaniel, the Senate version of HB 1 would leave $1.75 billion in the rainy day fund and would leave $1.278 billion unspent after those two years, even accounting for the $1.015 billion of tax rebates in SB 194.

Just In: The Kentucky Senate budget committee will finally take up and vote on HB 1 tomorrow morning, the 2-year executive branch budget bill passed by the House in mid-January.
This will undoubtedly be a committee sub that we learn the contents of shortly before it is voted on in the 9am meeting.
Also Just In: House Education committee will meet tomorrow night after adjournment, taking up SB 83, the bill banning transgender girls from girls athletics, and HB 277, which creates a student loan forgiveness program for teachers.

Kentucky House and Senate have gaveled in for Day 42 of the session.
Kentucky House now taking up HB 51 to ban local school districts from having mask mandates.
Rep. Nemes speaks for the bill, but Rep. Koenig (R) speaks against it, says this should be up to local elected officials and not the state. Says legislature would be hypocritical to pass a bill last year to leave mask decisions to local districts, and now pass a bill reversing it

KY House State Govt committee about to meet. They will take up HB 28, the original version of which would have prohibited governments, colleges & private employers from enacting rules requiring employees/customers of disclosing vaccine status & prohibiting discrimination on that
The committee sub for HB 28 that I've seen completely throws out the prohibition on private employers doing so. This one is sponsored by Rep. Savannah Maddox and has been a big cause of the anti-vax/mask mandate crowd going back to last year.
Committee is also taking up two mystery shell bills that we'll learn the contents of soon: HB 516 related to state government and HB 594 related to economic development.
