AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 6.691, which outlines the powers of the Legislative Ethics Commission, by increasing the maximum civil penalty the commission can impose from $2,000 to $10,000. The Legislative Ethics Commission is the body responsible for overseeing ethical conduct among legislators in Kentucky. This change means that if a legislator is found to have violated the ethics code after a formal hearing, the commission can now levy a significantly higher fine as a consequence.
