Senate Refuses House Substitute for Housing‑District Bill, Appoints Free Conference Committee
Summary
The Kentucky Senate voted not to concur with House Committee Substitute 1 to Senate Bill 9 (housing districts) and appointed a free conference committee — chaired by the Senator from Henderson and including Senators from Christian, Bullitt, and Jefferson 33 — to negotiate differences with the House.
The Kentucky Senate on April 14 voted not to concur with House Committee Substitute 1 to Senate Bill 9, legislation related to housing districts, and appointed conferees to a free conference committee to negotiate the bill’s differences with the House.
The Senator from Taylor moved that the Senate not concur in the House substitute for Senate Bill 9. In a voice vote the Senate indicated it did not concur; the clerk announced the result and the body resolved that House Committee Title Amendment Number 1 was not concurred with.
The Senate appointed conferees for free conference on the matter: the Senator from Henderson was named chair, and the Senators from Christian, Bullitt, and Jefferson 33 were named committee members. The clerk was instructed to send a letter to the House notifying them the Senate had not concurred and requesting that the House appoint its conferees.
Senate action sends the dispute to a conferenced negotiation process rather than a floor agreement; the conference committee will work to reconcile differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill.
