WHY KFTC PUBLISHES THIS LEGISLATIVE GUIDE
2017 General Assembly
Thirty-five years ago KFTC members got involved in their first legislative session. Our issues were noticed, our presence was felt, members were empowered, legislators became more accountable and the groundwork was laid for a string of significant legislative victories over the years. The importance of grassroots involvement in the legislative process – whether lobbying in Frankfort or working from home – cannot be overstated. We provide the information in this publication to help enable and improve that involvement – and ultimately make Kentucky a better place to live, raise families and do business.
tips for using this publication table of contents Direct communication with legislators is the most effective way to get them to cast an informed vote. Therefore, this publication is designed to provide as many ways possible (letters, phone calls, emails, social media, etc.) to contact lawmakers to offer your opinions, encourage their informed vote and to set up face-to-face meetings. Also in the following pages is information about staying informed of legislative activities. Knowing how legislators vote on certain issues, on what committee they serve, if they have a leadership position, what legislation is passed or defeated (or not given a hearing) and how to watch their proceedings all allow for more informed conversations with legislators. This publication is designed to be useful for citizen lobbyists both during the 2017 Kentucky General Assembly and throughout the year. The tips below will make the information in the following pages easier to use. • The heart of this publication is the names, contact information and committee assignments of legislators. This provides many different ways to contact your legislators. We hope you take advantage of all these opportunities and encourage others to do so.

• To find out which legislator represents a certain county, refer to the list on pages 17-18. Some counties are divided and have more than one representative or senator. In those counties, your local county clerk can give details on where the legislative district boundaries lie.
Good-to-know Senate phone numbers ............. 21 Finding your legislator by county ................. 22-23 Finding or calling legislators at the capitol....... 24
• Use the toll-free numbers found throughout to stay informed of the activities of the General Assembly. Kentucky Educational Television has streaming video of many legislative hearings and nightly broadcasts on the days the legislature is in session that summarize the day’s key votes or hearings (these are archived on its website: www.ket.org/legislature/). And the Legislative Research Commission website is full of information (www.lrc.ky.gov). • If you are not a member, join KFTC. Or renew your membership if it’s time.

House committees have regularly scheduled meetings, as listed below. However, committee meetings do get cancelled, and committees often meet in addition to their regular meetings. Check with the Calendar Line (800-633-9650) or www.lrc.ky.gov/legislative_calendar/index.aspx to confirm meeting days and times (knowing that any of these may have lastminute changes). Meeting rooms are in the Capitol Annex.

Tips for using the Legislative Message Line The toll-free Legislative Message Line – 800-372-7181 – is operated by the Legislative Research Commission (LRC) for leaving messages for legislators. As its name implies, it is only a message line. You cannot be transferred to talk to a legislator directly. To do that, call the LRC at 502-564-8100 and ask for the specific legislator you want to talk to (or find the legislator’s extension in the listings that follow). You could also use the Message Line to leave a message for your legislator to call you back. When you reach the Message Line, an operator will ask your name, address, phone number, the number of the bills you’re calling about and message. You can leave a message for one or more legislators – even all 138 at one time. Be sure to thank the operators. They often sit at a telephone for hours, answering and typing as fast as they can! And don’t be discouraged if you get a busy signal – the message line is a popular way to reach legislators. The Message Line is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday thru Thursday, and 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Fridays during the legislative session.

Some ideas for writing to legislators
When writing letters or emails to legislators and other public officials, keep these tips in mind. Letters should be brief and to the point, contain relevant facts and personal examples, and be focused on one or two key points. Some additional tips to consider when writing to legislators or public officials are: • Start with a vision or value statement – what do you believe in that might be a shared value with the legislator (good schools, access to health care, air that is safe to breathe, etc.). Start on some common ground. • Describe how the issue affects you. Does it impact you or loved ones directly? Why do you care about the issue? • Talk about solutions. What can the legislator do to achieve the vision or value you stated at the beginning? Be clear about what you are asking the legislator to do, such as cosponsoring or voting in favor of certain legislation. State why the legislator’s support for a bill is important to his or her district and constituents.
• If you are familiar with how the legislator has voted on or spoken about the issue you are concerned about, let this be known. For example: “I know you have voted for groundwater protections in the past, and I encourage you to do so again.” Or: “I saw your comment in the newspaper concerning your opposition to tax breaks for the rich. I encourage you to follow through on this by voting against Senate Bill ##.” • If you have talked to your family or neighbors about your legislative concerns, or have discussed it in a group you are a member of, let this be known. Legislators consider one letter to represent the views of many others who do not write, so letting them know others beside yourself are concerned reinforces this. You may wish to write something like: “I am anxious to let my Sunday School class know your position on ...” • If you are a constituent of the official, be sure to identify yourself as such. Legislators pay much more attention to communications from voters living in the districts they represent than to those from outside their districts.

Finding and Tracking Legislation The Legislative Research Commission (LRC) maintains an online and a written Legislative Record of all bills and resolutions that have been filed and all action taken. The internet is the quickest way to access this information. Go to: www.lrc.ky.gov/record/17rs/record.htm to find House or Senate bills and resolutions by number or sponsor. There also is an index to help locate bills by topic. You can call the toll-free Bill Status Line at 866-840-2835 to find out anything that has happened to a particular bill up through the previous day. You may also follow the day-to-day activities of the legislature through nightly broadcasts on Kentucky Educational Television (www.ket.org/legislature). The LRC also has an online Bill Watch. Registered users can create profiles based on bill subject or topic (such as keywords, sponsors, committees, subject or bill number). You can opt in to receive email notification when new bills are offered or changed based on the criteria you set up. Go to: http://kentucky.gov/services/pages/billwatch.aspx to register. Much of this information, as well as additional information, for bills that KFTC is working on in the 2017 General Assembly can also be found on KFTC’s website: www.kftc.org/ general-assembly and www.kftc.org/bill-tracker

2017 General Assembly
FINDING OR CALLING A LEGISLATOR AT THE CAPITOL Kentucky senators have offices on the second floor, and representatives on the third and fourth floors, of the Capitol Annex, located directly behind the Capitol. Each legislator has his or her own office. Several legislators are served by each reception area and receptionist. The Senate and House leaders also have offices in the Capitol, third floor. If you wish to call and talk to a legislator directly (instead of leaving a message on the toll-free line), call 502-5648100 and ask for the extension listed below.

“Going to Frankfort during the legislative session is one of the most important things that a citizen can do. It gives you the opportunity to share your desires in your own words, face to face, with your representatives. Your representatives are waiting to hear from you. Don’t pass up the opportunity to influence the Kentucky General Assembly.”
