CAPITOL BRIEFS 

Capitol Briefs: Welcome to Frankfort

The 2021 Session of the Kentucky General Assembly is well underway though things are looking very different this year. For starters, Legislators are meeting by appointment only with all of the appropriate Covid-19 procedures in place. That said, your KADA Legislative Affairs team has been busy and has already had several meetings with key leadership and Transportation Committee members. We have also had a number of meetings with many of the new legislators that are first time office holders. What a difference an election cycle or two makes! Listed below are a number of issues we are following closely. We will update you as needed and as things evolve during this most interesting time both in our state and country. 
 
Be well.
