Beshear Calls Special Session on Covid-19 In Kentucky

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) “is calling for a special session of the General Assembly to address the commonwealth’s alarming rise in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths,” the Louisville Courier Journal reports.

“Beshear’s call comes two weeks after the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled a lower court was wrong to block new laws limiting the scope of the governor’s emergency powers, giving the Republicans’ legislative supermajority a substantial say over any new policy measures to address the pandemic.”
