FRANKFORT, Ky. — Starting June 29, more than 20 new laws go into effect in Kentucky. These laws, passed by the House and Senate during this year's General Assembly, cover everything from how Kentuckians vote to what is considered a "Kentucky-grown agricultural product."
Two laws, making changes to education and elections, grabbed particular attention during the session. After COVID-19 upended the 2020 election cycle, House Bill 574 cements three days of early in person voting before election day.

Many of these are right-wing dream laws shoved through by our Rethug-dominated legislature. Some were vetoed by Gov. Beshear, then overridden by lawmakers.
