WHY KFTC PUBLISHES THIS LEGISLATIVE GUIDE

In 1982, 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, staying informed and active 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 opinions, encourage their informed and just vote, and to set up meetings. Also in the following pages is information about staying informed of legislative activities. Knowing how legislators vote on certain issues, on what committees 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 grassroots lobbyists both during the 2020 Kentucky General Assembly and throughout the year. The tips below will make the information in the following pages easier to use. • Start by knowing who your legislators are. Every Kentucky resident is represented by one state senator and one state representative. To find out which legislator represents a certain county, refer to the list on pages 8-9 and the maps on pages 10 and 24. 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. You also can find detailed district maps at legislature.ky.gov/Public%20Services/GIS/Maps/Pages/2013-Redistricting-Maps.aspx and chosing the “By District” link. • The heart of this publication is the names, contact information and committee assignments of legislators. This provides many different ways to contact your legislators and know on what committees they have a voice and vote. We hope you take advantage of all these opportunities and encourage others to do so. • Use the toll-free numbers found throughout to stay informed of the activities of the General Assembly. Kentucky Educational Television has streaming video of House and Senate sessions, many committee hearings and nightly broadcasts on the days the legislature is in session that summarize the day’s key votes or hearings (these are available and archived on its website: www.ket.org/legislature). • The Legislative Research Commission website is full of information (legislature.ky.gov). You can read every bill and resolution that is filed and any action taken on legislation, including vote tallies. There are many additional resource, including a Bill Watch service that will send you notifications for any legislation you want to track. • If you are not a member, join KFTC. Or renew your membership if it’s time. You can do so with a gift of any size at kftc.org/support or use the form on page 5. Your donation supports our work in the General Assembly and across Kentucky throughout the year. As a member you’ll receive regular updates and action alerts on KFTC’s legislative work and everything else we do.

2020 General Assembly

We Are Kentuckians: choosing each other during the General Assembly Kentuckians know what our communities need to thrive. It’s looking out for each other and treating each other like neighbors. It’s a healthy democracy – one that pushes our government to provide the support and services we need to live healthy and happy lives. But many of our elected leaders in Frankfort have prioritized bills that, instead of addressing Kentucky’s real challenges, aim to turn us against each other. Some politicians want to stoke fear and blame against people based on where they come from, what they look like, or how much money they have. Kentuckians are better than that. Our strength comes from our ability to stand up for each other. Together, we can let the legislators know that we aren’t fooled by their efforts to divide us. And later this year, we can elect new leaders who will work for and with all of us. Here are some of the top issues KFTC members are working on in the 2020 legislative session. Bills will be introduced through early March and will noted on KFTC’s online Bill Tracker at www.kftc.org/ bill-tracker. A Healthy Democracy Our democracy works best when elections are free and fair. When more of us have a say at the ballot box, we can elect those leaders who will stand up for all of us. In December, Governor Andy Beshear signed an executive order to restore voting rights for an estimated 140,000 people with felonies in their past. This is an important victory to celebrate – and there’s more to do. We want to make this Voting Rights victory permanent, but without the exclusions included in Beshear’s executive order. We’ll be working with the Voting Rights Coalition to support House Bill 6, which would respect the rights of folks who have a felony conviction in their past without exception. KFTC members also are in active conversations on other legislative efforts to expand voting access and participation, including same-day registration, early voting and extended voting hours, while fighting any efforts that limit access to voting, including restrictive voter ID legislation. New Energy and Just Transition

A Just Transition to a new energy system – one

that protects our health and climate, benefits people and communities, and creates good, meaningful jobs – is possible. But each year, utility companies and the legislators they fund aim to take away our access to renewable energy and increase our electricity costs, while burdening our communities, workers and the environment. In 2019, despite herculean efforts to show that solar is working for all Kentuckians and putting Kentuckians to work, legislators voted to pass the controversial net metering bill that undermines our growing solar industry and our progress towards a cleaner, healthier energy future. And in 2018, legislators voted to make it harder for miners with black lung to receive the diagnosis they need to access the black lung benefits they earned. We deserve better – from our utilities and the Public Service Commission, from the coal industry, and from the elected leaders who are supposed to represent us. This year, KFTC and other solar allies are working to reverse the damage from last year’s net metering bill, protect our most vulnerable friends and neighbors from the ever rising costs of electricity, and explore ways that our Public Service Commission can really be of service to the public. We’ll also support efforts to repeal language in the 2018 workers’ comp law that makes it much harder for miners with black lung disease to receive their compensation.

Taxes, Budget and Quality of Life Kentuckians need good jobs, clean air and water, and quality education. We deserve healthy, vibrant communities, where everyone contributes their fair share toward our shared goals. This Kentucky is possible, but we need to reform our state taxes. This year, we have the opportunity to advance many of these goals through the state budget process. We’ll support bills that generate revenue, close tax loopholes that benefit corporations and the wealthy, and ensures everyone is paying their fair share of taxes that invest in needed public services. We’ll also support bills that invest in public education and the people who teach our children and keep schools operating at a high level. This includes finding the funding to make these investments, not eroding the revenue base for public schools or diverting funding for charter schools. Bills have been introduced that would raise the minimum wage, exempt feminine hygiene products from sales tax, and restore the prevailing wage. We’ll continue to watch for legislation that improves the quality of life for all Kentuckians. Racial Justice and Civil Rights

is wiped out of our laws, habits and hearts. But Senate leadership opened the session with Senate Bill 1, which would create a mandate for most public agencies in Kentucky to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It has been dubbed the Family Separation Bill because it would force employees to participate in the detainment and deportation of immigrants in Kentucky. KFTC members and allies have been speaking up against this, and other harmful anti-immigrant bills. Passing a statewide fairness law is a top priority for many Kentuckians. Experience shows that defending existing local fairness ordinances, and the right of local governments to adopt such ordinances, also needs to be a legislative focus. We’ll also support LGBTQ+ Kentuckians by supporting bills that ban conversion therapy and fighting legislation like a “bathroom bill” that aim to stoke fear against and limit the rights of trans and non-binary Kentuckians. We’ll support legislation that bans discrimination against natural and protective hairstyles worn by Black Kentuckians. And we’ll watch for bills that will have a disproportionate impact on communities of color in our state.

Criminal Justice KFTC’s platform calls for a transition from our punitive justice system to a restorative one that honors the inherent dignity of all individuals. We reject the privatization of the criminal justice system and its targeting of poor folks and Kentuckians of color. A bill that would repeal portions of the problematic “Youth Incarceration” Bill that became law during the 2018 legislative session has been filed and is on our radar. Legislation that would establish an Officer Shooting Review Board to investigate any shooting of an individual by a law enforcement officer or any deadly incident involving law enforcement is also on our radar. We’re also watching a bill that would make the penalty for possession of a personal use quantity of marijuana a prepayable non-criminal fine. It also would allow expungement of convictions for possession of a personal use quantity of marijuana. A bill that would prohibit employers from requiring disclosure of prior criminal history as part of the initial job application (ban the box) has been filed, as well as a bill that would prohibit application of the death penalty if the accused has a diagnosis of

serious mental illness. We support abolition of the death penalty, and will be watching for a clean bill. Health Care KFTC supports quality, affordable, and comprehensive health care. After Governor Beshear’s executive order that rescinded former Governor Bevin’s Medicaid work requirements, we’ll be watching for any bills that restrict or take away Kentuckians’ ability to access health care. After passing increasing draconian anti-choice legislation, Republicans are continuing efforts to restrict access to reproductive care in Kentucky, including an anti-abortion constitutional amendment and an abortion gag rule. Bills have been introduced that would limit patients’ financial liability for unintended out-ofnetwork medical care, would prohibit pre-existing condition exclusion and higher premiums based on health status in health insurance plans, and would require the Department for Public Health to track data on maternal death and severe morbidity, and other provisions.

What a day lobbying with KFTC at the capitol is like If you lobby with KFTC in Frankfort, here is what you can expect. On KFTC lobbying days, a staff member will meet with you when you arrive in Capitol Annex (be sure to let KFTC know ahead of time that you are coming). Bring others with you. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday are generally the best lobbying days since legislators come in late on Mondays and leave early on Fridays. Before seeing legislators, you will be updated on the status of KFTC bills and which legislators need to be contacted. KFTC will conduct this briefing about 9 a.m. (or another pre-set time, repeated as needed through the morning). Generally we meet in the annex cafeteria. KFTC staff also will let you know if there are any important committee meetings that day, or any important votes scheduled in the House or Senate. KFTC pairs up experienced grassroots lobbyists with those with less or no experience. KFTC does not expect anyone to lobby by oneself. Groups are more fun and effective. Talking with legislators is generally a pleasant experience. Most legislators are happy to hear the opinions of the public, especially their own constituents (you may want to call ahead to make an appointment

with your own legislators). Legislators do have busy days or some just don’t want to hear from citizens. That can be disheartening. You are not expected to know all the details of the bills you ask legislators to support or oppose. What is important is to tell the lawmaker why you support the bill, and how it will affect you personally or your community. KFTC can provide a factsheet for the details. If you are asked a question that you don’t know the answer to, tell that legislator that someone from KFTC will get back to them with an answer. Don’t forget to tell a KFTC staff person that this needs to be done! Many KFTC members find that they know as much or more about the issue as the legislator does. Don’t be surprised by this – legislators have several hundred bills to study and can’t be well-informed about all of them. The information you provide may be more than they receive from anyone else. After meeting with legislators, report back to the KFTC lobbying coordinator about the conversation and any commitments or ques-

tions they had. This information helps us prepare for meetings on the next lobby day. Your lobbying experience may include more than meetings with legislators, such as attending committee meetings or sessions of the House or Senate. Meeting other KFTC members from around the state will make the day enjoyable and remind you that you are part of a larger family of concerned Kentuckians. Another important thing: when lobbying with KFTC, expect to be asked to lobby for bills that may not be your top priority but are a top priority to KFTC members from other areas. You can do this knowing that other KFTC members are lobbying their own legislators on the bills that you are most interested in. Don’t forget that grassroots lobbying does not have to take place in Frankfort. Meeting legislators in their home district is important and often gives you a chance to get more people to attend the meeting. Most legislators are home on weekends while the General Assembly is in session and expect to meet with constituents.

MEMBER TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE GRASSROOTS LOBBYING KFTC members have learned valuable lessons over the years on how to be effective grassroots lobbyists. Here are their top suggestions. 1. Clearly identify yourself. Tell them who you are, if you are representing a group, and why you or your group cares about the issue. 2. Start with a value statement that reflects your motivation for acting, one that encompasses the broader goal you seek. “I believe every child derserves a quality education” is better than “I want you to vote for HB 979.” 3. Personalize your message. Tell your story, your experience around the issue. We all know how powerful our stories are! People are more likely to remember a personal story than a statistic. 4. Tell the truth. If you don’t know an answer to something, be honest about it. Tell the legislator you will find out and get back to them. And do it! 54. Be Polite. Be friendly, but firm. Respect a legislator’s right to disagree. A positive, friendly approach works best! 6. Come prepared. Know your facts – figures do matter! You should be able to tell where your figures came from. It is very important to have well-designed and written materials to supplement what you are saying. With the materials in their possession, it will remind them of your issue even when you are not there. These materials also are helpful for those who want to lobby but who don’t feel completely comfortable talking about the issues.

7. Be clear and concise. Legislators are often busy. Don’t take any more of their time than necessary. Be brief but to the point. Make an appointment ahead of time, if possible. Thank them for taking the time to meet. 8. Be thick skinned. Legislators may come across as dismissive and impolite. Don’t let a negative experience discourage you or hold you back. Keep your cool and be polite and persistent. The experiences with friendly, encouraging and grateful legislators will outweigh the negative encounters. 9. Follow up. Let others know the legislator’s position and confirm any favorable position with a thank you letter. And remember, if the legislator has asked for more information, get it to them. 10. You are educating the legislators. You often will know more about the issue than the legislator does. They deal with hundreds of bills each session and sometimes will not know the personal sides of an issue. You can be their best source of information. Again, the printed materials are helpful. 11. Remember that you are making a difference. Grassroots voices are important in Frankfort! Even if you don’t get the answers or actions you are looking for, you are helping to hold legislators accountable and building the base for long-term change.

House committees have regularly scheduled meetings, as listed below. However, committee meetings do get canceled, and committees often meet in addition to their regular meetings. Check with the Calendar Line (800-633-9650) or https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/legislativecalendar to confirm meeting days and times (knowing that any of these may have last-minute 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 (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 and the number of the bill(s) you’re calling about. You can leave a message for one or more legislators, members of a committee – even all 138 at one time. It is good to state why you are for or against a bill, and ask the operator to write it down. Otherwise your message may be reduced to a checkmark for or against the bill. 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 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 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, health democracy, 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 their 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 air quality 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: apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/20rs/record.html 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). Or follow #kyga20 on Twitter. 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 2020 General Assembly can also be found on KFTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website: www.kftc.org/ general-assembly and www.kftc.org/bill-tracker

“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.”

2020 General Assembly

How a Bill Becomes a Law in Kentucky

The first step is to start with an idea. Many ideas come from legislators, but the public may also suggest new laws and even write proposed legislation.

➀

When citizens have an idea for a new law, they must find a legislator willing to act as its sponsor in the General Assembly. Every bill must have a sponsor, and a bill can have several co-sponsors. Similar bills can have sponsors in both the House and the Senate.

➁

The legislator asks the Legislative Research Commission (LRC) to put the idea into legal language, or to draft a bill. The LRC may do any necessary research, note any projected fiscal impact, and make sure the idea does not conflict with any existing laws.

➂

Many, but not all, bills have a hearing before a standing committee and are approved or not approved by a majority vote of committee members. The committee chairperson sometimes chooses not to bring up a bill as a way to kill it. Committee hearings are open to the public, and citizens may testify for or against a bill at the discretion of the chairperson.

➄

After approval by a standing committee, the bill goes to the Rules Commitee, which may refer it to the full membership (floor) or send it back to another standing committee for further consideration (a tactic sometimes used to kill a bill). The Rules Committee has a lot of power.

➅

* Next, the bill is introduced into the General Assembly, either in the House or the Senate, depending on whether the sponsor is a representative or senator (all revenue measures must originate in the House). The bill first goes to the Committee on Committees, which assigns it to a standing committee. Some bills may be pre-filed in the interim between legislative sessions but may only be passed while the legislature is in session.

➃

If a bill gets through the Rules Committee, it is sent to the House or Senate floor, where it is supposed to be read and voted on. Amendments can be and often are proposed on the floor. Occasionally, legislative leaders refuse to allow a bill to be voted on. If a bill receives a majority vote, it is sent to the other legislative chamber, where it must go through a similar process of hearings and votes.

➆

The governor has 10 days to sign a bill or it becomes law automatically. The governor may veto a bill if he or she opposes it.

At any step in the process, a bill may be modified or amended. If different versions of the same bill pass each chamber, a conference committee made up of senators and representatives is formed to reach a compromise. A compromise bill must pass both chambers again. If it does, it is sent to the governor.

The legislature may override a veto if at least 50 percent of the members in both chambers vote to do so. New laws take effect 90 days after the legislature adjourns unless a bill passed with an emergency clause, whereby it takes effect immediately.
