Well, during the governor's press conference this afternoon, he talked about the bills he'll either sign or veto.

Here's his reaction to bills legalizing some kinds of sports betting and banning gray machines.

So I will certainly sign sports betting if it gets to me.

I want to be very clear about that.

It's something that I have pushed for, for years, and I believe it is very close to having the votes that it needs.

And I believe that this is something that Kentuckians overwhelmingly want.

I did sign a bill this morning to ban what are called gray machines.

And the reason is they're entirely unregulated.

I don't believe that they were legal yet.

They came into Kentucky and just set up and we're taking dollars from Kentuckians and taking them out of state with zero regulation, zero taxation, zero system to try to help those that might develop any issues from using them or or gaming or gambling.

I want to look at ways that we can have more better regulated gaming.

But the law is the law.

They were unregulated.

I think that they were unlawful.

Now, I understand that there are a lot of businesses out there that this provided another revenue stream for, and I want them to know that I'm sympathetic for them.

I always fall back on the rule of law and what's legal or not.

But my hope is in the future, whether that's additional lottery offerings or others, that we can do some things to replace some of those revenue and give people options.

The House passed and a Senate committee okayed a bill to legalize medical marijuana.

Under certain circumstances, a narrowly tailored measure sponsored by Senator Stephen West allows medical marijuana to be used for certain conditions, including cancer, chronic and debilitating pain, epilepsy or seizure disorders, multiple sclerosis, chronic nausea and PTSD and other medical conditions or diseases.

The Kentucky Center for Cannabis finds appropriate.

Here's Governor Beshear on that bill.

The bill itself I would like to see some changes to there aren't enough conditions in it that people may be suffering from that that need the assistance of medical marijuana.

But I will take a start and certainly it is a start.

It got a hearing, it got out of committee.

That's never happened in the Senate.

But I don't really believe in wins like that.

I mean, people who need this need it now.

And so I really hope that they will push it through.

And even though I believe the bill is imperfect, I would sign it.

It is a step in the right direction.

The Senate unanimously passed a bill to regulate Delta eight, which is a psychoactive found and the cannabis plant.

House Bill 544 requires the state health cabinet to regulate Delta eight and other hemp derived intoxicating agents.

The bill also makes Delta eight illegal for anyone under the age of 21.

To possess or to be sold it to requires proper labeling on Delta eight products and requires that they be behind the counter.

House Bill 544 will also now be sent to the governor's desk.
