HB-118/SB-112
The State Senate passed SB-112 by a vote of 30-5. The Bill would ban universities and public agencies from providing health insurance benefits to domestic partners. A similar Bill HB-118 is in the House Health and Welfare Committee but it remains to be seen if it will be called up.
The votes are probably there to by-pass the Committee and bring it to the floor since so many Democrats have co-sponsored the legislation. Many West Kentucky Representatives have co-sponsored the Bill. They include: Mike Cherry-Caldwell Co.,Tommy Thompson-Owensboro, Jim Gooch-Webster Co., Brent Yonts-Greenville, Eddie Ballard-Madisonville, Melvin Henly-Murray, and Fred Nesler-Mayfield. A total of 20 House members have signed on as sponsors of the Bill.
