RE: it would have to wait for the next regular session.
1) When is the regular session going to be?
2) Assuming they pass the law, will the governor ( a Democrat ) sign it?
2. Hard to say. The Gannett article says the House Speaker supports it, and he's a Democrat, too. The governor's comment was "I see no need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money calling a special session of the General Assembly."
But Beshear repeated in a statement on Tuesday his well-established position — that Davis and only two other of Kentucky's 120 county clerks are defying the Supreme Court's ruling. "The General Assembly will convene in four months and can make statutory changes it deems necessary at that time. I see no need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money calling a special session of the General Assembly," Beshear said.
