LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Representative Chris Lewis

Lawmakers pass $32 billion budget, $11.6 billion for transportation services and infrastructure
Kentucky lawmakers approved a two-year, $32.4 billion budget on Wednesday, April 1. The bill, HB 500, focuses on key priorities like K-12 public education, public safety, veterans’ services, and maintaining university facilities.

The budget invests in the state’s priorities – education, infrastructure, and public safety - while being careful with taxpayer dollars and keeping long-term financial stability in mind. It is built by focusing on needs first and avoiding unnecessary spending, the same way that many Kentucky families manage their own finances. To accomplish this, the measure directs state agencies and programs – including the legislature itself - to identify and address outdated and pandemic-era programs; duplicate programs, grants, and services; reduce administrative costs and consulting contracts; and ended programs that do not produce clear benefits. The budget also encourages finding more efficient ways to deliver services, including through families, businesses, and community organizations. To accomplish this, HB 500 reduces spending in several areas, including a 4% base cut to executive branch spending in the first year and an additional 3% cut in the second year. However, to ensure priority programs are protected, agencies will have flexibility to decide where those reductions make the most sense.

At the same time, the budget protects core services. Per-pupil SEEK funding, Family Resource and Youth Service Centers, Medicaid, juvenile justice, corrections, and veterans’ programs are all exempt from the cuts. Certain education programs, including extended school services and Jobs for America’s Graduates, are also protected.

In education, HB 500 provides $369 million in new K-12 funding, includes a 2% annual SEEK increase (raising per-pupil funding from $4,586 to $4,626 in fiscal year 2027 and $4,792 in fiscal year 2028), keeps transportation funding steady at $398 million each year, and provides an additional $134.8 million to fully fund teacher retirement at the level actuaries believe is necessary to continue our efforts to stabilize the pension.

For public employees, the plan includes a 2% pay raise in each year of the budget, fully funds pensions and health insurance, and addresses pay compression in some agencies. The final version of HB 500 also fully funds the Kentucky Employee Health Plan at the recommended level. That includes a 14% cost increase in the first year and another 10% increase in the second year, both paid by taxpayers.

The budget also highlights major challenges facing our state. One particular area of concern is Medicaid, the taxpayer-paid health insurance program that covers medical costs for low-income individuals and families, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities. In this budget, Medicaid alone will cost about $6 billion over the next two years - the second-largest expense after K-12 education. The budget adds waiver slots to expand access for vulnerable populations, and maintains key behavioral health services. We continue to focus on reforming the program to improve both the delivery of services and the cost, but it is a complicated issue that directly impacts all of us, with a third of the state receiving health care benefits through it and all taxpayers paying for it. This session we approved HB 2, which takes a huge step forward in tackling issues like oversight, ensuring recipients are eligible, and instituting federal community engagement and copay policies.

Overall, the budget includes targeted investments while maintaining a focus on financial responsibility. It increases funding for K-12 schools, including modest growth in SEEK funding, and fully supports teacher retirement and school employee health insurance. It also maintains steady funding for higher education, supports scholarships and dual credit programs, and invests in campus infrastructure.

In addition to HB 500, lawmakers approved several other budget bills, including nearly $1 billion for the judicial branch (HB 504), $182 million for the legislative branch (HB 503), a $7 billion transportation budget (HB 501), a $4.6 billion road plan (HB 502), and $70 million for local road projects (HJR 76). We also approved a $1.7 billion measure (HB 900) that makes one-time investments with excess funds in our budget reserve. While there was a desire to use these monies to create new programs and services, we chose to invest in communities to improve infrastructure (particularly with water and sewer lines), and improve the quality of life throughout the state.

Overall, this is a modest but strong budget that will serve the people of Kentucky well over the next two fiscal years. It continues to build a strong foundation on living within our means while planning for future needs. HB 500 now goes to the governor. Lawmakers will return to Frankfort on April 14 and 15 to consider any vetoes.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Representative Chris Lewis

College admissions, road safety, and workforce
With two-thirds of the legislative session now behind us, lawmakers have already worked through a significant portion of this year’s agenda. By the Wednesday, March 4 deadline to file new legislation, House members introduced 938 bills. As is typical each year, only a small share of those proposals will ultimately make it through the full legislative process and become law.

By March 6, 137 bills have cleared the House chamber, reflecting weeks of committee hearings, debate, and votes on the floor. Three measures have successfully passed both the House and Senate. Of those, one has already become law, while two others are now awaiting the governor’s consideration. Under Kentucky law, the governor has ten days to sign or veto legislation once it reaches his desk. If no action is taken within that time frame, the bill automatically becomes law without the governor’s signature.

Some of the bills that passed the House this week include:

HB 5 would expand prison-based education and job-training programs proven to reduce crime by developing a model vocational campus at a state prison offering intensive education and workforce training for incarcerated individuals while they complete their sentences.

HB 67 would clarify a law providing oversight of communications between students and public school faculty and staff. The measure exempts cousins, nieces, nephews, and any adult who lives in the same household as the student, as well as group texts involving two or more school employees or qualified volunteers and one or more students for an academic, athletic or extracurricular purpose. The bill would allow teachers who interact with students because of other jobs, like a youth pastor, delivery driver, or a photographer, may disclose that job and be exempt from using a traceable communication system for those purposes under the bill. HB 67 also addresses emergency communications, better defines a qualified school volunteer, and mandates notification of parents and guardians if an unapproved communication occurs.

HB 254 would exempt temporary sanitation facilities, including shower and toilet units, brought in after a disaster or other emergency from inspections required by the state and local governments.

HB 282, Troy’s Law, would allow tow trucks to be equipped with one or more flashing, rotating, or oscillating green lights.

HB 307 would create a proactive postsecondary admissions program requiring the Kentucky Department of Education to share information about all incoming seniors with state universities. Colleges and universities must adopt a common application with minimum admission standards and notify every Kentucky senior of their KEES award, eligible institutions, and application instructions.

HB 364 would make Kentucky National Guard members eligible to receive emergency response pay when called to active duty after a declaration of emergency in the Commonwealth.

HB 418 would strengthen domestic violence protections by limiting reunification orders, treating repeat domestic violence as a presumptive bar to unsupervised visitation and custody, and holding accountable anyone who makes false domestic violence claims in custody cases.

HB 519 would allow individuals to voluntarily add a communication disorder notation to their driver’s license, instruction permit, or state ID card – providing a simple, discreet way to alert first responders that they may communicate or process information differently.

HB 586 would clarify that sunscreen is not a medication and ensures that students can apply sunscreen at school.

HB 593 would require data centers locating in Kentucky to meet their energy needs responsibly by generating their own power, purchasing it on the national market, or paying upfront to expand generation and transmission capacity. The measure also establishes a $75,000 application fee for any entity seeking to construct a data center in Kentucky, ensuring applicants have a meaningful stake in the process from the outset

HB 658 would require the transportation cabinet to extend the waiting period for a limited commercial driver’s license (CDL) from 180 days to 210 days with a 12-month period for agriculture businesses.

Three measures would bring Kentucky into interstate licensure compacts for respiratory therapists (HB 36), dietitians (HB 92), and athletic trainers (HB 628). By joining these compacts, Kentucky would promote license portability and expand access to qualified professionals while helping address ongoing workforce shortages in critical health fields. Equally important, interstate compacts make it easier for military spouses and families to continue their careers when they relocate, strengthening Kentucky’s reputation as a military-friendly state.

I hope you will continue to monitor our work.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Representative Chris Lewis

Budget, education, healthcare, and public safety
With the March 4 deadline to file bills looming over lawmakers, the legislative agenda kept us busy during the last week of February. The biggest news of the week was the passage of the House version of the state executive branch budget.

The proposed $31.56 billion, two-year budget represents a strategic effort to right-size government, control costs, and ensure resources are directed toward programs that truly improve the quality of life for Kentuckians. It balances fiscal responsibility with targeted investments in education, healthcare, public safety, and community stability, ensuring the state delivers essential services efficiently while planning for long-term sustainability.

This budget reduces expenditures across several cabinets and programs, including a 3% reduction in executive branch spending each fiscal year. At the same time, it provides agencies with flexibility to determine program-level funding, allowing them to identify the most effective areas for reductions. Importantly, HB 500 House Committee Substitute does not fund the entirety of the executive branch’s nearly $10 billion in agency budget requests, signaling a disciplined approach to new spending.

The updated version of HB 500 protects the state’s core priorities, particularly programs that directly affect Kentuckians’ daily lives – including per-pupil SEEK funding, Family Resource and Youth Service Centers, Medicaid, juvenile justice, corrections, and services for veterans. In addition, funding for educational initiatives like Read to Achieve, extended school programs, and Jobs for America’s Graduates are preserved, ensuring investments continue in programs that deliver measurable results.

The budget also provides 2% annual salary increases for state employees, millions for pay increases for Kentucky State Police, more than required by statute for public pensions, and fully funds the Kentucky Employees Health Plan that provides health insurance to state employees, teachers, and others. At the same time, it reduces reliance on long-term borrowing, which in turn strengthens the state’s credit profile, reduces debt service costs, and safeguards taxpayers.

Overall, this budget represents a disciplined, forward-looking strategy: it reduces base spending, meets required obligations, manages debt responsibly, and prioritizes funding for programs that serve the public effectively.

Here are some examples of other measures approved by the House this week:

HB 1 would opt Kentucky into the Education Freedom Tax Credit, established under the federal HR 1, and give Kentucky families access to privately-funded scholarships for primary and secondary education.

HB 2 would transform Kentucky’s Medicaid program to improve health outcomes, streamline program operations and service delivery, strengthen oversight, transparency, and accountability, reduce fraud, and align with new federal requirements.

HB 141 would create guidelines for the Department of Education to develop high-quality Type 1 diabetes informational materials for parents and guardians of students.

HB 185 would strengthen pathways to employment opportunities and occupational licenses for Kentuckians who have been convicted of a crime by streamlining and bringing transparency to the reentry employment and occupational licensing process.

HB 249 would close a loophole in state law that allows individuals accused of unlawful sexual conduct to be released from custody if they are mentally incompetent to stand trial.

HB 415 would streamline hearing and appeals timelines for teachers facing certification complaints. The measure would expedite proceedings, move appeal hearings from the Education Professional Standards Board to the Office of the Attorney General, improve communication with superintendents, and add training on appropriate relationships and communication with students.

HB 422, Logan’s Law, would strengthen Kentucky’s sentencing and parole rules for serious and violent crimes. It expands the definition of “violent offender,” increases minimum parole eligibility, limits early release, and requires consecutive sentences for multiple violent offenses. The bill also tightens parole rules, updates reporting and data tracking for longer sentences, and revises capital sentencing procedures and treatment of defendants found guilty but mentally ill, prioritizing public safety and longer incarceration over early release.

HB 455 would prohibit licensed professionals from allowing AI to make independent therapeutic decisions or generate therapeutic recommendations or treatment plans without review and approval by the licensed professional. Importantly, the provisions of HB 455 would not apply to religious counseling, peer support, or self-help materials and educational resources that are available to the public and do not purport to offer therapy or psychotherapy services.

HB 497 would provide relief to public postsecondary institutions by requiring incoming students who qualify for tuition waiver programs to apply for financial aid to offset the cost of tuition.

HB 518 would direct the secretary of state to work with an advisory committee to develop standardized electronic forms for net profits, gross business receipts, and payroll occupational taxes.

HB 521 would strengthen protections for survivors by capturing real-world stalking patterns that frequently intersect with sexual violence.

House passes Lewis’ legislation on police and fire benefits
Frankfort, Kentucky (February 26, 2026) - Legislation sponsored by Representative Chris Lewis (R-Louisville) would extend benefits to police officers and firefighters during probationary periods. The measure, HB 516, was passed yesterday by the Kentucky House of Representatives.

“Every time first responders are on shift, they are putting their lives on the line for the safety of their community,” said Lewis. “With this bill, police officers and firefighters across Kentucky will be eligible to receive benefits they deserve.”

HB 516 permits police officers and firefighters to receive disability and death benefits during probationary periods. The measure also allows the purchase of service hours in the retirement system from their probationary period. Currently, none of these benefits are available to police officers and firefighters on probation, despite similar working hours and requirements as those who are no longer on probation.

“Supporting the people who protect our Commonwealth is incredibly important,” said Lewis. “I am thankful to my fellow members of the House for the passage of this bill, and anticipate similar passage by the Senate.”

HB 516 now moves to the Senate for further consideration. For more information on this bill, please visit legislature.ky.gov

Lewis measure to recognize State Fair Board police officers passes House
Frankfort, Kentucky (February 20, 2026) – This week, members of the Kentucky House of Representatives voted to approve HB 297, legislation that would include Kentucky State Fair Board special police officers in the Kentucky Law Enforcement Foundation Program Fund (KLEFPF). The measure, sponsored by State Representative Chris Lewis of Louisville would ensure these officers are formally recognized as sworn law enforcement officers under state law and eligible for the same benefits and support provided to other officers across the Commonwealth.
“By including Kentucky State Fair Board special police officers in the Kentucky Law Enforcement Foundation Program Fund, we are building a fairer, more consistent system that ensures all officers receive the benefits and support their service deserves,” said Lewis. “These officers perform critical public safety duties, and this legislation makes sure they are no longer excluded from the support they deserve.”
HB 297 updates statute to include Kentucky State Fair Board special police officers within the definition of police officers for purposes of KLEFPF eligibility. By doing so, the bill aligns state law with the duties these officers already carry out and removes ambiguity regarding their status and access to law enforcement benefits.
“These officers deserve the same protections and resources as their fellow officers,” Lewis added. “This bill makes sure they are no longer left out of the fund and are treated fairly under state law.”
The measure now moves to the Senate for consideration. To learn more about HB 297, visit legislature.ky.gov

House committee passes measure to recognize State Fair Board police officers
Frankfort, Kentucky (February 18, 2026) – This week, members of the Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Protection Committee passed HB 297, a measure that would include Kentucky State Fair Board special police officers in the Kentucky Law Enforcement Foundation Program Fund (KLEFPF). This bill, sponsored by Representative Chris Lewis of Louisville, would ensure these officers are formally recognized as sworn law enforcement officers under state law and eligible for the same benefits and support provided to other officers across the Commonwealth.

“This legislation is about clarity and consistency in our law,” said Lewis. “HB 297 recognizes the important public safety role these officers already perform and ensures they receive the same recognition and support as other law enforcement professionals.”

HB 297 updates statute to include Kentucky State Fair Board special police officers within the definition of police officers for purposes of KLEFPF eligibility. By doing so, the bill aligns state law with the duties these officers already carry out and removes ambiguity regarding their status and access to law enforcement benefits.

“This is a commonsense update that strengthens public protection while supporting the men and women who serve,” Lewis added. “By including these officers in KLEFPF, we are affirming their role in protecting Kentuckians and ensuring they are treated equitably alongside their law enforcement peers.”

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Representative Chris Lewis

The second week of February brought a steady rhythm of work in Frankfort, providing lawmakers the opportunity to consider a growing number of bills while continuing the careful task of crafting the state budget. As of Friday, February 13, more than 400 House bills and nearly 200 Senate bills had been filed, reflecting the wide range of priorities and concerns voiced by Kentuckians across the Commonwealth.

The pace will only quicken as key deadlines approach: March 4 marks the final day for new House bills to be filed, and March 2 is the deadline in the Senate. As always, citizens can follow the progress of legislation, track bills, and watch committee meetings live by visiting legislature.ky.gov.

Here are a handful of the bills that cleared the House this week:

HB 7 would allow school districts to use camera monitoring systems on school buses to enforce a civil penalty against cars that are recorded passing a school bus with a deployed stop arm and allow school districts to contract with a private vendor or manufacturer to install, operate, and maintain them.

HB 44 (I am the primary sponsor of this legislation) Establishes a robotics program trust fund in the State Treasury to award grants to programs promoting hands on learning, establishing community partnerships, highlighting career opportunities, and establishing connections to manufacturing, machining, and fabrication skills for high school students.

HB 139 would strengthen election integrity and clarifies key procedures. The measure would allow the State Board of Elections to share data with other government agencies investigating election offenses; require voting systems to at least meet Election Assistance standards; and clarify candidate filing requirements for commonwealth’s attorney races and special elections.

HB 253 would phase out the use of the “three-cueing” reading method in Kentucky schools and teacher preparation programs. The bill would prohibit three-cueing instruction by the 2029-2030 school year, instead emphasizing an evidence-based approach built around five key components: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension

HB 264 would update existing statute to clarify that if someone lists or advertises a house, apartment, or commercial property for sale or rent without actually owning it or having permission from the owner, the law will assume they are trying to deceive people.

HB 266 would add speech language pathology or audiology license to the definition of eligible healthcare credential in the statute governing the healthcare worker investment fund

HB 305 would strengthen procedures around grand jury proceedings by extending the statute of limitations applicable for knowingly recording the proceeding or disclosing any information gathered while present during a proceeding. The provisions do not apply to commonwealth’s attorneys, their staff, or peace officers engaged in their official duties.

HB 459 would strengthen Kentucky’s health care workforce by requiring licensing boards to collect workforce participation data during license renewals, giving policymakers clearer insight into provider availability and shortages. The bill also allows the Kentucky Board of Licensure for Marriage and Family Therapists to grant licenses to qualified applicants already licensed in other states, helping attract experienced professionals while maintaining high standards of care.

HB 508 would create guidelines for private companies who charge a fee to help Kentucky veterans access benefits. The measure would not impact the free options available through nonprofit veterans’ service organizations and would require for-profit companies to provide written notification that there are free services available. The bill would limit the fees charged for advising or assisting with veteran benefits; ban deceptive or aggressive soliciting practices; provide notification that free services are available; and protect veterans personal, medical, and financial information. HB 508 would also require compensated advisors to file annual report with the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs and enforces violations under the Consumer Protection Act.

HCR 44 urges Congress to create an accreditation pathway for private companies that assist veterans in navigating the benefits system.

HJR 25 would declare Kentucky a Food is Medicine state and encourage state agencies to expand programs that use nutrition as part of medical care and disease prevention.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Representative Chris Lewis

Week in Review: Agriculture, Judiciary, Education
With 22 days of the session completed, the legislature is over a third of the way through the 2026 session. Lawmakers have entered the second month of the legislative process. In the busyness of the new year, it is easy to lose track of what issues lawmakers in Frankfort are putting their focus on. House Standing Committees have been meeting consistently for the discussion of bills, and I wanted to take the time to highlight the work they have done this week to move bills closer to becoming laws.

Agriculture: Members considered HB 309, which would prohibit the production or sale of lab-grown meat. This legislation, aimed at protecting Kentuckians from the unknown ramifications of cultivated meat, was approved by the committee.

Families and Children: Members passed two legislative measures, HB 109 and HB 190. HB 109 would eliminate the mandatory 60-day waiting period before a divorce decree can be entered when the couple has minor children, if they have gone through collaborative mediation as an alternative to traditional divorce proceedings. HB 190 would modernize day care standards regarding square footage requirements for school-aged children to include these common areas in the square footage calculations.

Health Services: Members approved HB 470, which would address issues surrounding peer support in Kentucky. Members also passed HJR 25, which would direct state agencies to advance “Food is Medicine” initiatives.

Judiciary: Members approved several pieces of legislation, including HB 50, which would add consolidated local government law enforcement agencies for unlawful occupation enforcement and would require posting in a conspicuous location. HB 249 would close a loophole in state law that allows individuals accused of unlawful sexual conduct to be released from custody if they are mentally incompetent to stand trial. HB 305 would prevent anyone attending a grand jury hearing from knowingly recording the proceeding or disclosing any information gathered while present during a proceeding. Members voted to pass all bills through committee.

Licensing, Occupations, and Administrative Regulations: Members approved HB 387, which would restructure the Controlled Substances Prescribing Council to add two licensed veterinarians. Members then approved HB 45, which would modernize Kentucky’s CPA licensure framework. Members also approved HB 48, which would update the statutes governing the Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy, and HB 212, which would authorize Kentucky-licensed veterinary technicians to vaccinate a dog, cat, or ferret against rabies under the direct supervision of a veterinarian on the premises. Finally, members passed HB 49, which would create the Kentucky professional engineer and professional land surveyor incentive scholarship fund.

Local Government: Members met to discuss HB 333 and HB 432. HB 333 would remove unnecessary regulatory barriers for faith-based organizations seeking to develop housing and shelter services. HB 432 would allow local agencies to purchase used vehicles and equipment through noncompetitive negotiation. Under the measure, this would only be permitted if the cost is less than 75% of the manufacturer's suggested retail price for new items. Members voted to pass both measures through committee.

Natural Resources and Energy: Members discussed HB 60, which would ban geoengineering. This bill is a preventive measure to protect our Commonwealth from potential future experimentation with geoengineering. HB 313 would streamline the sale of city utility franchises by decreasing the time for purchase before franchise expiration from 18 months to six months. HB 397 would prohibit the transfer of live trophy catfish from their natural habitat in rivers to other bodies of water, such as lakes, for commercial uses. Members voted to pass all bills, recommending passage by the House.

Postsecondary Education: Members discussed and passed two measures. First, the committee heard HB 266. This measure would add audiology and speech pathology to the healthcare worker investment fund to allow individuals seeking education and training for these fields to participate in the funding program. Members also heard HB 379. This measure would reform state higher education statutes by removing outdated groups and task forces from state requirements.

Primary and Secondary Education: Members advanced several measures focused on student opportunity and outcomes. Members first heard HB 44, which would create a robotics program trust fund to support hands-on learning, strengthen community partnerships, and connect high school students with career pathways in manufacturing and skilled trades. The committee also heard HB 253, which would phase out three-cueing reading instruction by the 2029–30 school year, shifting early literacy efforts toward the science of reading. Finally, members approved HB 257, updating the state’s accountability and assessment system to place a greater emphasis on student growth.

State Government: Members met to hear testimony on HB 66, an act relating to videoconference meetings. HB 66 would allow members of any public board or agency to join meetings virtually, if a quorum was present at the in-person meeting. This bill would reduce taxpayer spending on travel expenses for all members to be physically present at meetings. Members voted to pass the bill in committee, recommending passage by the House.

Transportation: Members voted to pass HB 7, which would allow school districts to use stop-arm camera systems on school buses and enforce civil penalties for violations. The committee also passed HB 226, directing a portion of fees from Kentucky National Guard specialty license plates to the National Guard Association of Kentucky. Finally, members approved HB 258, allowing vehicles up to 90,000 pounds transporting fluid milk from farm to first market to travel on state highways without a special permit.

Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Protection: Members considered several measures during the meeting. HB 369 would add post-traumatic stress disorder as a qualifying condition for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Members also took up HB 419, which would expand the Kentucky Fire Commission from 14 to 18 members and allow unused Firefighters Foundation Program funds to help cover firefighters’ out-of-pocket costs for cancer screenings. Both measures were approved and advanced to the House floor. Members also heard testimony from USA Cares regarding state funding.
