Bill > SB88

This bill creates a new section of KRS (Kentucky Revised Statutes) Chapter 6 to establish parameters for the General Assembly when called into session by Joint Proclamation. It amends KRS 6.190 and 6.211 to adjust the compensation of members of the General Assembly during a veto recess period. The bill is effective only upon the ratification of a proposed constitutional amendment relating to sessions of the General Assembly. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. Regular sessions of the General Assembly in odd-numbered years shall consist of 30 legislative days, and in even-numbered years shall consist of 60 legislative days. 2. The General Assembly can be reconvened upon Joint Proclamation of the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives for up to 12 legislative days in a 3-calendar week period, with no compensation or expense reimbursement during any "veto days" (days when neither chamber meets while awaiting gubernatorial action on legislation). 3. Any bill filed prior to the end of the regular session will hold over for legislative action until the end of the year or until all available legislative days have been expended. 4. The bill does not apply to any extraordinary session of the General Assembly convened under the state constitution.
