The Kentucky General Assembly meets annually, for 30 days in odd-numbered years and for 60 days in even-numbered years. Thirty-eight State Senators and 100 State Representatives convene to pass legislation for the Governor's signature.

The Catholic Conference monitors the bills that are introduced for their relevance to Catholic Social Teaching and decides whether to support or oppose particular bills. The website is frequently updated during the session.

The General Assembly staff, collectively known as the Legislative Research Commission (LRC), maintains a detailed website that includes not only legislation introduced, but also the names of all the Senators and Representatives and information about how to contact them, date and times for committee meetings and other vital material.  Use the hyperlink above to visit the site.

Here are some materials to help active, faithful citizens be effective.
