FRANKFORT, Ky. — Gender transition services, Medicaid and government spending. These are all subjects state lawmakers addressed through bill passed in the final hours before the start of the veto period on Friday, March 14.
Lawmakers worked until nearly midnight to pass all the bills they wanted to be protected from being vetoed.

What has not passed:
Veto Period
Monday is the second of 10 veto days. This is the window where Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear, D-Ky., can use his executive power to block bills he finds issue with. Though it is more of a ceremonial power these days as the Republican led legislature has enough votes to override him.
As of Monday morning, Beshear has yet to veto any bill.
More than 100 bills have been delivered to him for action. He has signed nearly 20 pieces of legislation so far.
Remainder of legislative session
Lawmakers will return to Frankfort for the final two days of the legislative session at the end of this month. They will gavel back in March 27.
