Today in Frankfort - February 28, 2011
Legislative Day 22
In Committee
SB 112 - Another Health Insurance Mandate
House Committee on Health and Welfare
Legislation would cap the copays for physical and occupational therapies. All new health insurance mandates increase health costs for us all. LIKELY KEY VOTE
SB 151 - Electing the PSC
House Committee on Tourism Development and Energy
This bill would change the make up of the PSC, electing one member per US Congressional district and one at large. Politicizing the development of Kentucky's utility infrastructure in this way does not strike us as a good idea. LIKELY KEY VOTE
Rep. Bill Farmer has filed two amendments to kill this legislation. One would limit expenditures for PSC campaigns to $1000 total, and the other would elect all Cabinet Secretaries, which is an equally bad idea (which is the point).
