HB664 establishes a pilot program for automated speed enforcement in highway work zones by issuing civil citations to drivers exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour when workers are present. The Transportation Cabinet is tasked with implementing the program, which includes installing signage indicating active enforcement and issuing courtesy warnings during the first 30 days of operation. All fines collected will be used to administer the program, with any surplus directed to the highway-work-zone safety fund.

The Kentucky State House of Representatives passed HB664 on March 28, 2025 by a vote of 76 to 20. We have assigned pluses to the nays because traffic cameras undermine due process by removing human interaction and presuming guilt before innocence—principles protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Additionally, these cameras infringe upon the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, and they unfairly grant leniency to some while denying it to others—contradicting the American principle that “all men are created equal.”

The Kentucky State Senate passed HB664 on March 28, 2025 by a vote of 29 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the nays because traffic cameras undermine due process by removing human interaction and presuming guilt before innocence—principles protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Additionally, these cameras infringe upon the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, and they unfairly grant leniency to some while denying it to others—contradicting the American principle that “all men are created equal.”

HB4 prohibits public universities from using diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in admissions, hiring, scholarships, and other areas. It bans DEI offices, training, and related programs. The law also requires universities to disclose employee salaries and budgets monthly and submit annual reports on government-mandated discrimination.

The Kentucky State House of Representatives passed HB4 on March 27, 2025 by a vote of 79 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the goal of DEI is to divide Americans along lines of race, gender, and other identity markers. DEI programs replace merit-based admissions with race- and identity-based preferences. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination, and it violates the constitutional principle of equal protection under the law. Rather than promoting equality, DEI pushes for “equity,” a concept rooted in Marxist ideology that calls for equal outcomes through government-enforced favoritism.

HB495 is an emergency law that overturns Governor Andy Beshear’s 2024 executive order banning conversion therapy for minors. It reinstates the practice by protecting counselors and religious providers who offer it from professional discipline or loss of funding. The law also prohibits Medicaid from covering sex-change procedures—including hormones and surgeries—for adults.

The Kentucky State House of Representatives passed HB495 on March 27, 2025 by a vote of 78 to 20. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill protects parental rights, religious liberty, and free speech for counselors and faith-based providers—rights safeguarded by the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment. It also defends minors from harmful gender ideology. Neither healthcare nor social welfare is a legitimate government function. Medicaid and similar entitlement programs unjustly divert taxpayer dollars—often from hard-working citizens—to select low-income individuals, creating discriminatory and unsustainable burdens. Such programs exceed the limited powers granted under Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution, and must be rejected.

HB2 prohibits the state from charging sales or use taxes on gold, silver, and platinum bullion. It also allows individuals who paid these taxes since August 2024 to apply for refunds, including interest and damages.

The Kentucky State House of Representatives passed HB2 on March 27, 2025 by a vote of 80 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is an important step toward restoring sound, constitutional money and reestablishing the role of gold and silver as legal tender, in accordance with Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

SB1 establishes an official Kentucky Film Office within the Cabinet for Economic Development and creates a Kentucky Film Leadership Council to oversee it. The office, led by an executive director, will centralize administration of the state’s film-incentive program, market Kentucky as a filming destination, coordinate with regional film offices, support workforce training, and streamline the application process. It will be funded through a base allocation, incentive fees, and a portion of the state’s room tax.

The Kentucky State House of Representatives passed SB1 on March 14, 2025 by a vote of 77 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill expands government unnecessarily by creating an office that duplicates functions better handled by the free market. Government involvement in incentivizing the film industry distorts the economy, wastes taxpayer dollars, and invites the influence of Hollywood-style culture and values that often contradict traditional American principles. Rather than relying on private enterprise and market demand, this law empowers bureaucrats to pick winners and losers, undermining economic freedom and opening the door to immoral and anti-American cultural shifts.

HB2 prohibits the state from charging sales or use taxes on gold, silver, and platinum bullion. It also allows individuals who paid these taxes since August 2024 to apply for refunds, including interest and damages.

The Kentucky State Senate passed HB2 on March 14, 2025 by a vote of 30 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is an important step toward restoring sound, constitutional money and reestablishing the role of gold and silver as legal tender, in accordance with Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

SB75 lowers the legal age for carrying a concealed weapon from 21 to 18, permitting any adult legally allowed to possess a firearm to carry one without a separate conceal-and-carry license.

The Kentucky State Senate passed SB75 on March 11, 2025 by a vote of 26 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the state’s minimum age requirement that prevents a person younger than 21 from carrying a firearm, is unconstitutional. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution assures that the right of the American people “to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

SB151 prohibits the use of state tax dollars to pay anyone unlawfully present in the United States for goods or services provided to government entities. The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security is responsible for enforcing this rule and may create regulations to implement it. The law defines “illegal alien” as a foreign national unlawfully present under federal immigration law.

The Kentucky State Senate passed SB151 on February 28, 2025 by a vote of 29 to 4. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill defends the rule of law and protects taxpayers from footing the bill for illegal aliens. Persons who enter the United States illegally—which, by definition, is a crime—ought not to be rewarded with public funds, let alone be paid for providing goods or services to government entities. Doing so not only incentivizes illegal immigration, but undermines national sovereignty. Moreover, neither social welfare nor the redistribution of taxpayer dollars is a legitimate function of government. Programs that fund or compensate illegal aliens with state revenue violate the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment, which protect the property and liberty of law-abiding citizens. SB151 takes a necessary step toward restoring constitutional governance and fiscal responsibility.

SB14 prohibits pharmaceutical manufacturers from discriminating against 340B-covered entities—such as qualifying healthcare facilities and their partner pharmacies—by denying them access to discounted drug pricing. If a manufacturer offers a drug at a 340B price in any other state, it must do the same in Kentucky.

The Kentucky State Senate passed SB14 on February 13, 2025 by a vote of 33 to 4. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill imposes government mandates on private businesses, compelling them to comply with regulations that interfere with their freedom to contract and operate according to their own principles—violating the First Amendment and Article I, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution. Moreover, the federal 340B drug discount program lacks constitutional authorization under Article I, Section 8. By propping up this federal program at the state level, SB14 further entrenches government interference in healthcare and undermines the free market.

HB1 cuts the state’s individual income-tax rate from 4% to 3.5%, starting with the 2026 tax year.

The Kentucky State Senate passed HB1 on February 4, 2025 by a vote of 34 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because cutting the income tax is a crucial first step toward restoring economic liberty and limiting government overreach. The income tax is an immoral, anti-constitutional form of government-imposed theft that seizes wages rightfully earned by individuals. This manifestly socialist wealth-redistribution scheme funds “nanny-state” policies that only breed more debt, dependency, and poverty. Kentuckians must continue to reject tyrannical big government by upholding the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment, which declare that no state shall deprive any person of “liberty, or property” and guarantee “equal protection of the laws.”

HB1 cuts the state’s individual income-tax rate from 4% to 3.5%, starting with the 2026 tax year.

The Kentucky State House of Representatives passed HB1 on January 9, 2025 by a vote of 90 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because cutting the income tax is a crucial first step toward restoring economic liberty and limiting government overreach. The income tax is an immoral, anti-constitutional form of government-imposed theft that seizes wages rightfully earned by individuals.

SB295 prohibits a requirement for any individual to receive a COVID-19 vaccine for the purposes of student enrollment, employment, or medical treatment.

The Senate passed SB295 on March 26, 2024, by a vote of 25 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because vaccine mandates should be opposed, as an individual’s non-injurious personal health care decisions should be considered private matters not under federal, state, or local jurisdiction in the United States. Compelling every person to be vaccinated under the guise of "preventive medical treatment" violates the fundamental rights of the people protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment.

HB2 proposes to amend the Kentucky Constitution to authorize the financial support of students outside the public school system.

The Senate passed HB2 on March 15, 2024, by a vote of 27 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because ratification of this amendment would further expand the government’s monopoly on K-12 education, which seeks to displace traditional private schools and homeschooling in favor of universal state-sponsored schooling. Its exchange of public subsidies for curriculum and other regulatory controls effectively turns every participating student into a government-school student. Moreover, education is not the role of government. A child's education is the responsibility of his or her family. The best “school choice,” by far, is for parents to choose not to place their child’s education in the hands of the state. Educational and economic freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to furnish their hard-earned tax dollars to fund all that now entails a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system.

HB357 forbids the use of a merchant category code that distinguishes a firearms retailer from other retailers and provides that no person or governmental entity may keep a list of privately owned firearms or firearms owners.

The Senate passed HB357 on March 13, 2024, by a vote of 32 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill prevents the unlawful use of credit card payment information to track firearms purchases. Recent adoption of a new merchant category code for “gun and ammunition shops” by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—a globalist collaborative linked to the United Nations—aids unconstitutional efforts by the federal government to conduct mass surveillance, which, in part, is intended to create a national gun-owner database and confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens. States should interpose between and nullify the actions of private or public entities that frustrate, if not blatantly violate, the Second and Fourth Amendment rights of the American people.

HB2 proposes to amend the Kentucky Constitution to authorize the financial support of students outside the public school system. The House passed HB2 on March 13, 2024, by a vote of 65 to 32.

HB461 allows the use of “stop arm cameras” on school buses and enforces civil penalties against motor vehicle owners for violations, including fines of up to $1,000, license suspension, and imprisonment. The House passed HB461 on March 11, 2024, by a vote of 79 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill is equivalent to placing “red light cameras” on school buses, extending the baneful and coercive “policing-for-profit” schemes employed by state and local governments and (even foreign-owned) third-party companies. Besides, Kentucky law already provides civil penalties for motor vehicle operators witnessed to be in violation of passing a stopped school bus. Hence, the use of “stop arm cameras” is nothing more than a techno-authoritarian method to fast-track an unconstitutional means of taxing citizens. It infringes upon the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, specifically the accused’s right to privacy and due process.

  SB27 ensures that pharmaceutical manufactures comply with the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program. The Senate passed SB27 on March 8, 2024, by a vote of 32 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act, which requires pharmaceutical manufacturers participating in Medicaid to sell outpatient drugs at discounted prices, is unconstitutional. Medicaid, not to mention the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is not authorized under Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution, as neither health care nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Government-subsidized health care or drug pricing, not to mention the "benefits" provided to illegal aliens, is financed by immoral and anti-constitutional forms of taxation (e.g., personal or corporate income taxes). It violates the Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment by taking from citizens the wages they have rightfully earned. The General Assembly should act instead to nullify all unconstitutional federal laws and end reckless economic incentives.

HB357 forbids the use of a merchant category code that distinguishes a firearms retailer from other retailers and provides that no person or governmental entity may keep a list of privately owned firearms or firearms owners.

The House passed HB357 on February 27, 2024, by a vote of 78 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill prevents the unlawful use of credit card payment information to track firearms purchases. Recent adoption of a new merchant category code for “gun and ammunition shops” by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)—a globalist collaborative linked to the United Nations—aids unconstitutional efforts by the federal government to conduct mass surveillance, which, in part, is intended to create a national gun-owner database and confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens. States should interpose between and nullify the actions of private or public entities that frustrate, if not blatantly violate, the Second and Fourth Amendment rights of the American people.

HB255 repeals a section of state law that prevents the Department of Workplace Standards from making “child labor” regulations less restrictive than those imposed by the United States Secretary of Labor.

The House passed HB255 on February 22, 2024, by a vote of 60 to 36. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because young adults (e.g., 17 or 16-year-olds), who have reached an age of discretion, should not be subject to “child labor laws” or other unreasonable barriers to willful and gainful employment. Parents—not the government—ought to have the final authority and say as to whether their minor children can work. Kentucky must protect the fundamental rights of parents and freedom of association of the American people, which are retained under the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

HB367 prohibits SNAP recipients who are “able-bodied adults without dependents” from receiving any waiver of work requirements, unless specifically authorized by the General Assembly.

The House passed HB367 on February 22, 2024, by a vote of 61 to 33. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because providing cash or food assistance, especially to “able-bodied adults without dependents,” is not the legitimate object of government. There exists no “right to food” apart from a person working and earning it themselves or having received it privately and voluntarily from someone else. Taxation in the name of “social welfare” is neither just nor charitable. “Public assistance benefits” rely on the unconstitutional and discriminatory use of federal and state taxpayer money on behalf of some citizens (particularly those who have little or no tax liability) at the expense of others, resulting in more debt, dependency, and poverty. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is not authorized under Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution.   

HB18 preempts local governments from adopting or enforcing ordinances that bar owners of housing accommodations from refusing to lease or rent to persons who receive federal housing assistance.

The Senate passed HB18 (Third Reading) on February 20, 2024, by a vote of 25 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because local governments in Kentucky have absolutely no business passing “source-of-income antidiscrimination” ordinances, and nothing in the U.S. Constitution authorizes the federal government’s Section 8 “housing choice voucher program.” As dishonest and manipulative tactics of government efforts to control the housing market, they unconstitutionally deny the property rights of both tenants and landlords by violating freedom of association. They prevent individuals from entering into lease agreements privately and voluntarily, according to their own terms, hindering the most qualified renters from obtaining the best housing at the best prices. The Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment were intended to promote the “General Welfare” of all Americans through safeguarding against such undue deprivations or disparagements of a person’s “liberty, or property” and guaranteeing “equal protection of the laws.”

HB96 requires each local school district to have a “moment of silence or reflection” at the start of every school day, ensuring that all students may “pray” without distraction.

The House passed HB96 on January 31, 2024, by a vote of 79 to 17. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill supports the religious liberty of students, including their right to pray in school. Prior to the U.S. Supreme Court’s erroneous decision in Engel v. Vitale in 1962 (a case in which the Court failed to cite even a single precedent to justify its opinion), prayer in schools had been not just constitutionally protected, but a long-standing tradition and common practice. In fact, Kentucky law still authorizes the recitation of the “Lord’s prayer” in elementary schools as a reminder that it “is the prayer our pilgrim fathers recited.” The U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment clearly says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” As a restriction addressed exclusively to “Congress,” it limits only the federal government, not the States. Since 1792, the Kentucky Constitution has consistently declared that “all men” have “the right of worshipping Almighty God according to the dictates of their consciences,” and that “no human authority shall, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience.”

SB80 removes college and university identification documents, along with credit and debit cards, from being used as “proof of identification” to confirm a voter’s eligibility.

The Senate passed SB80 on January 30, 2024, by a vote of 27 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill would improve Kentucky’s voter ID requirements by closing a significant loophole that risks electoral fraud and disenfranchisement of qualified U.S. citizen, Kentucky-resident voters. Section 147 of the Kentucky Constitution grants the General Assembly power to provide by law for the “registration” of all persons “entitled to vote” in the state, with the requirement that it “shall pass all necessary laws” to enforce the provision that “only persons registered shall have the right to vote.” The American people alone retain the “right of Representation in the Legislature,” and lawmakers in Kentucky should perform their duty and exercise the full extent of their authority under Article 1, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the 14th and 26th Amendments, to implement free, fair, and secure elections, thereby ensuring “the right of citizens of the United States to vote.”

HB5 phases out state and local property taxes on the production of “distilled spirits stored or aging in barrels” beginning in 2026 and eliminating them by 2043.

The House passed HB5 on March 30, 2023, by a vote of 60 to 39. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the ‘Bourbon Barrel Tax’ is a form of wealth transfer legislation based on property confiscation. Property should not be taxed at any level against anyone—especially Kentucky’s $9 billion signature industry that generates new jobs, higher wages, and better opportunities. Property taxes, like income taxes, are immoral and anti-constitutional acts of government-imposed theft. Since property is tied to ownership, only when a person or business is secure in the possession of their property can they have the freedom to exercise self-government. Every attack on private property is, therefore, an attack on individual liberty. The U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment were written to safeguard “private property” and prevent “any State” from depriving “any person" of "property, without due process of law.” Moreover, neither education nor public health is the role of government, and taxing property to fund them is even more egregious.

SB150 limits the authority of public schools in relation to parental rights, a student’s use of pronouns, medical or mental health services, and instructional content on human sexuality.    

The House passed SB150 on March 29, 2023, by a vote of 76 to 23, overriding the Governor’s veto. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the upbringing, education, and care of children belongs to parents, not the government. Parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights, are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment.

The Senate passed SB150 on March 29, 2023, by a vote of 29 to 8, overriding the Governor’s veto.

Parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights, are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment.

SB4 prevents a utility company from shutting down a “fossil fuel-fired electric generating unit” without demonstrating that it would result in reliability and resilience of the electric grid as well as cost savings for customers.

The House passed SB4 on March 16, 2023, by a vote of 66 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill assists with efforts to save Kentucky's coal power plants amid an unconstitutional war on fossil fuels that seeks to deny local citizens their right to access the natural energy resources in the Bluegrass State. Rather than submit to the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for “sustainable development,” which threatens to reduce our standards of living and compromise the integrity of our utility infrastructure, Kentucky should act to stop the “climate change” grift and reject all attempts by power-hungry globalist elites to further regulate the use of coal or other fossil fuels. The Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment were intended to protect free-market enterprise.

HB153 prohibits state and local agencies from enforcing any “federal law, executive order, rule, or regulation that is enacted, adopted, or becomes effective on or after January 1, 2021.”

The Senate passed HB153 on March 15, 2023, by a vote of 27 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill prevents the state from enforcing certain federal firearms regulations, helping to restore the rights of law-abiding citizens. The U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment expressly declares that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Whenever the federal government assumes power to impose firearms restrictions in blatant violation of the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, nullification of such acts by the several States is the proper remedy.

HB146 extends the minimum weeks of state “unemployment benefits” available from 12 weeks to 16 weeks.   

The House passed HB146 on March 13, 2023, by a vote of 94 to 0. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because there exists no right to a wage or remuneration apart from a person earning it themselves through their own labor or investment. As government has no money of its own, the reality is that so-called “unemployment benefits,” despite being organized by the state, are nothing but an illegitimate “insurance” mandate (i.e., tax) on employers—the cost of which is ultimately paid for by hard-working employees. Unfortunately, the state-subsidizing or compulsory financing of unemployed individuals only undermines work ethic and profit incentive, creating more unemployment and poor people dependent on the government for income. The State of Kentucky must not be permitted to pursue such policies that are beyond its proper constitutional scope and authority.

SB115 would make engaging in a “live sexually explicit performance” on public property or in a location where it could be viewed by a minor child a criminal offense.

The Senate passed SB115 on March 10, 2023, by a vote of 26 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the citizens of Kentucky have the right—which the State has a duty to uphold—to protect both themselves and their children from obscene, indecent, or profane activity. This right of the people is retained under the 9th and 10th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

SB4 prevents a utility company from shutting down a “fossil fuel-fired electric generating unit” without demonstrating that it would result in reliability and resilience of the electric grid as well as cost savings for customers.

The Senate passed SB4 on March 2, 2023, by a vote of 25 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill assists with efforts to save Kentucky's coal power plants amid an unconstitutional war on fossil fuels that seeks to deny local citizens their right to access the natural energy resources in the Bluegrass State.

The Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment were intended to serve as a bulwark against undue interference with free-market enterprise.

HB470, the “Do No Harm Act,” would ban the provision of “gender transition services” to a person under the age of 18 years.

The House passed HB470 on March 2, 2023, by a vote of 75 to 22. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because no person has a right to abuse a child using the pretext of LGBTQ+ ideology. Sex mutilation against minor children violates their unalienable right to life and limb, as it absurdly attempts to erase their biological characteristics with fictional “gender” constructs. According to the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the States have a duty to defend the humanity of all people—male and female—who, as the Declaration of Independence affirms, are created by God and form the basis of individual and family self-government.

SB64 would change Kentucky’s definition of “money” to include “electronic money,” as provided by the Uniform Commercial Code.  

The Senate passed the SB64 on February 28, 2023, by a vote of 34 to 0. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because this bill would end free-market-based cryptocurrencies and pave the way for an exclusively government-controlled Central Bank Digital Currency—presenting a significant danger to civil liberties. In fact, the bill was pushed by the Uniform Law Commission, an influential ‘Deep State’ globalist organization that promotes uniform state laws in America, particularly those “consistent with U.S. laws and international obligations,” so as to pursue integration with other countries. Nevertheless, the power to “coin money,” let alone authorize or adopt the use of “electronic money,” is among the powers denied to the States in Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution.

HB153 prohibits state and local agencies from enforcing any “federal law, executive order, rule, or regulation that is enacted, adopted, or becomes effective on or after January 1, 2021.”

The House passed HB153 on February 22, 2023, by a vote of 78 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill prevents the state from enforcing certain federal firearms regulations, helping to restore the rights of law-abiding citizens. The U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment expressly declares that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Whenever the federal government assumes power to impose firearms restrictions in blatant violation of the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, nullification of such acts by the several States is the proper remedy.

SB83 prohibits male students from participating in athletic teams, activities, and sports designated as "girls".

The Kentucky State House of Representatives passed and overrode the Governor’s veto for SB83 on April 13, 2022 by a vote of 72 to 23.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas for years. This indoctrination is letting people believe that they can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders. Taxpayers fund sports programs in schools, so this legislation ensures that taxpayer dollars will not be going to athletic programs that embrace the woke culture.

HB459 Appropriates Federal Funds from the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 in the amount of $127,000,000 and Federal Funds from the State Fiscal Recovery Fund of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 in the amount of $123,000,000 to the broadband deployment fund.

The Kentucky State Senate passed HB459 on March 30, 2022 by a vote of 36 to 0.
