A legislative subcommittee moved a series of staff-suggested and agency amendments across multiple state agencies, approving changes by unanimous consent or without objections and advancing routine regulatory updates.
Regulations taken up included fisheries rules from the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet and Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (301 KAR 1201 and 2178), a veterinary practice regulation (20116767) for the Board of Veterinary Examiners, emergency procedures from the State Board of Elections (31 KAR 4240E), multiple attorney general rules (40 KAR series), an emergency gasoline price regulation for excise tax computation (10343341), pension authority updates (105 KAR 1001 and 105 KAR 1440), controller office governance (20038080), physical therapy language updates (201 KAR 22010 and related sections), and education cabinet changes to student attendance and school meal program rules (702-3220 and 6110). Presenters included agency staff and counsel who identified themselves for the record: Gabe Jenkins (Fish and Wildlife), Carmine Accarino and Michelle Shane (Board of Veterinary Examiners), Taylor Brown (State Board of Elections), Steve Hoppers (Office of Attorney General), Bethany Atkins Rice and Richard Dobson (Department of Revenue), Carol Catellfo and Victoria Hale (Kentucky Public Pensions Authority), Ashley Daley and Joe McDaniel (Office of the Controller), Steven Curley (Board of Physical Therapy), Todd Allen and Lindsay Swartz (Education and Labor Cabinet), and Julie Brooks (Department for Public Health).
Most items were approved through motions to adopt staff amendments or by unanimous consent; no recorded roll-call votes or tallies were provided in the transcript. A public commenter, Sarah Wood representing PetIQ/Babich cofounder, offered brief praise for the veterinary board’s work; the board’s counsel and executive director thanked attendees and noted the process was an example of stakeholder communication.
