On Wednesday local State Representative Steve Riley posted an update to his Facebook page.
According to Riley, the Education Committee is meeting today “working on COVID-related issues, including taking a look at how we can provide local districts with more flexibility to deal with the virus,” while also keeping our children in-person as much as possible. Representative Riley stated the fact that “students learn better in-person.”
Legislators are continuing to preparations for a potential special called session regarding COVID-related issues. “We don’t know yet when special session will begin,” said Riley.
Only the Governor can call the legislator into session and set the agenda. However, only the legislature can draft and pass laws.
Riley encourages everyone to stay updated on the issues by visiting the Legislative Research Commission website at legislature.ky.gov.
