Kentucky Bill Book

The bill would let insurers from other states skip Kentucky insurance rules and taxes, which could lower consumer protections and cost the state money.

If passed, Kentucky residents could see fewer protections on their health plans and the state could lose tax revenue, while out‑of‑state insurers get a cheaper way to sell policies.

• Rights & Protections (hurts) — Consumer protections weakened. Skipping state insurance rules may lower safeguards for policyholders.
• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — Tax revenue lost to state. State loses taxes and fees that would otherwise help fund public services.

Racing facilities could not be sued for noise or other problems if they were built before nearby land was bought or built on.

This bill would make it against the law to share fake videos of people without their permission and set a time limit to take action.

This bill aims to protect people from having fake videos of them spread online. It would create new rules about sharing these 'deep fakes' and set penalties for breaking them. It also sets a deadline for people to take legal action if their image is used without permission. This is important because fake videos can harm someone's reputation and cause distress.

This bill would let renters sue landlords who don't fix serious housing problems, making landlords fix things or pay up.

This bill is a big win for renters. Right now, it can be hard to make landlords fix broken things, even when they are supposed to. This bill would give you a clear way to take your landlord to court if they get a ticket for a housing problem and don't fix it in 90 days.

This bill is a big win for local communities. It would give towns more power to decide where huge tech buildings, like data centers, can be placed. It means these big projects would have to tell everyone what they plan to do and offer benefits to the community. Right now, it can be hard for regular people to have a say when big companies want to build something huge nearby. This bill would make sure communities get public notice, impact reports, and a chance to make sure these projects fit in. Some might say these rules make it harder or more costly to build, but the bill aims to balance growth with protecting local neighborhoods. Since it's still moving, now is the time to tell your lawmakers if you think local voices should be heard.

This bill would make gun owners report lost or stolen guns and could make them pay if those guns hurt someone, helping keep communities safer.

This bill would make gun owners tell the police if their guns or bullets go missing. If they do not report it and that gun hurts someone, the owner could have to pay. It would also make people who give guns to kids pay if those kids hurt someone with the gun. This could help keep guns out of the wrong hands and make our neighborhoods safer. But some people might say it puts too many rules on gun owners. Now is the time to speak up while lawmakers are still thinking about this bill.

This bill would make online platforms protect kids from harmful features and let parents take companies to court if they don't.

This bill is a big win for parents and kids. It would make online companies like social media and AI companion apps take real steps to keep kids safe. This means better age checks and needing a parent's OK for kids to have accounts. If companies don't follow these rules, parents would be able to sue them.

This bill would stop landlords from using computer programs to set your rent, making it fairer for you.

This bill would protect renters from potentially unfair rent increases driven by computer programs. These programs can make rents go up quickly, making it harder for people to afford their homes. If this bill passes, landlords would have to set rents in a different way, which could lead to more stable and reasonable prices. Some might say these programs help landlords set fair market prices and make things more efficient. But for regular people, it means less worry about a computer deciding how much they pay for a roof over their head.

Everyday People

• Accountability (helps) — Landlords would be more accountable for rent prices.. The bill prohibits algorithmic rent setting, placing the decision-making back with landlords, making them directly responsible for rent amounts.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Tenants gain protection from algorithmic pricing.. By banning algorithmic devices for rent setting, the bill protects residential tenants from potentially unfair or rapidly increasing rents driven by automated systems, treating such use as a violation of consumer protection.
• Who Bears the Cost (helps) — Tenants benefit from more stable rent setting.. Tenants would likely benefit from more stable and predictable rent increases, while landlords might incur costs related to manual rent assessment or reduced efficiency from automated systems.
• Process Transparency (helps) — Rent setting becomes more transparent.. Removing algorithmic devices from rent calculation would make the process more transparent, as landlords would need to justify rent amounts based on human-understandable factors.
• Funding Tilt (neutral) — No direct funding impact.. The bill does not directly involve state funding or appropriations.

Pushing for it: Residential tenants (potential savings from fairer rent)
Bearing the cost: Landlords (potential loss of efficiency or profit from automated rent setting)

This bill would make app stores and developers check kids' ages and get parent permission, so parents can better protect their children online.

This bill would give parents more power to protect their kids online. It would make big app stores and the people who make apps check how old users are and get a parent's 'yes' before a child can make an account. If companies don't follow these rules, parents would have the right to take them to court. Some might say these rules are too much work for app makers and could make it harder for kids to use apps. But supporters believe it's a fair way to keep kids safer from things they shouldn't see or do online. This is your chance to speak up while the bill is still being discussed.

This bill would make online services keep kids' private information safer and stop tricky ads from reaching them.

This bill is good for kids. It would make sure that online games and apps protect kids' private information. It would stop companies from using tricky ways to get kids to buy things or share too much. Some companies might say it is too hard or costly to change their apps. But protecting kids online is very important. You can tell your lawmakers if you think this bill should pass.

Everyday People

This bill would let women and anyone helping them travel for abortion care do so without fear Kentucky's government could punish them, and would let women sue the state if it tries.

Right now, Kentucky has some of the strictest abortion bans in the country. This bill says the state can't prosecute or come after women or their doctors, friends, or family members who help them get abortion care in another state where it's legal. It also waives the state's legal immunity, meaning women could actually sue Kentucky if officials violate their privacy or try to stop them. That's huge, because normally states have broad shields against lawsuits. The bill is in Judiciary now, so this is the moment for people who believe women should have control over their own reproductive choices to make noise. It's also a moment for those who believe abortion should be restricted to weigh in on the other side. Either way, the clock is ticking before this moves to a floor vote.

Everyday People

• Right to Reproductive Privacy Restored (helps) — Affirmative protection for women seeking care outside state. Bill explicitly establishes privacy protections for women seeking reproductive health care outside Kentucky and protects anyone assisting them.
• Waiver of Sovereign Immunity (helps) — Removes state's legal shield, enables private lawsuits. Official summary states the bill waives sovereign immunity protections of the Commonwealth, allowing women to sue the state for violations.
• Cost Shift to State (If Enforced) (helps) — State litigation exposure increases. Waiving sovereign immunity exposes Kentucky to litigation costs and potential damages if women prove privacy violations.
• Enforcement & Process Clarity (neutral) — Bill text does not specify exact enforcement mechanism or damages cap. Official summary mentions a civil cause of action but does not detail how damages are calculated or capped, leaving enforcement mechanics unclear.
• Preemption of Local Restrictions (helps) — Creates statewide floor for privacy, blocks more aggressive local enforcement. New statewide privacy framework would prevent local prosecutors from independently pursuing cases against women or helpers.

Pushing for it: Women seeking reproductive health care and anyone assisting them
Bearing the cost: Kentucky state government (litigation liability and damages)
