With the interim session officially in full swing for over a week now, lawmakers have begun hearing from executive branch officials and stakeholders on a number of public policy topics. Yesterday, during a meeting of the Interim Joint Committee on Judiciary, we were grateful to hear from Attorney General Russell Coleman. He updated the committee on his office's work, including efforts to address violent crime. The Attorney General is Kentucky's highest-ranking law enforcement officer. As such, it's important that the office is equipped with the resources it needs to support the brave men and women in the law enforcement community. The Kentucky General Assembly was glad to include $20 million in the two-year state budget for the office's body armor grant program, which was established by the legislature. The program has and continues to help law enforcement and first responders purchase body armor and much more to ensure they are equipped to do their job as safely as possible. We appreciate all of our first responders, and were happy to received and update from Attorney General Russell Coleman. You can find archived video of his testimony from yesterday's meeting, co-chaired by Sen. Brandon Storm, linked in the thread below, along with links to more details about this important grant program. Make sure to follow committee meetings throughout the interim by visiting the Legislative Research Commission website, tuning in on the LRC YouTube channel, and subscribing to receive updates from our office. The legislative calendar, which is updated weekly, is a great resource for learning about upcoming meetings and topics to be covered.

A former Lexington pastor charged with sexually abusing a young church member received a 13 year sentence. We are relieved he will be sent to prison, rather than returning to the pulpit. More here: kentucky.gov/Pages/Activity-…

Whether it’s leading the @KyChamber or testifying at our nation’s Capitol, @AshliWatts is a great voice for Kentucky. We are grateful for her leadership and willingness to serve.
Great to catch up with @KyChamber President and CEO @AshliWatts, ahead of her testimony in @HouseCommerce today! During her testimony, she shared her perspective on how Kentucky's privacy and data security law, which is similar to the bill we examined today, has impacted businesses in the Commonwealth!
