House Bill three appropriates more than $13 million to refurbish and reopen the old facility.
But some senators took issue with changes the Senate made regarding detention for juveniles accused of violent crimes.
Others say it's necessary.
But we must be careful about detaining our youth, about putting our young people in jail every time we do it, and increases the risk, not just to them and to their future, but also to the Commonwealth and to its citizens.
And we've had an explosion of violent juvenile crime in northern Kentucky.
The public demands the people be held accountable for violent crimes.
The detention part of this bill has to do with violent felonies.
House Bill three passed the Senate 29 to 7.
It now heads back to the House for a vote on the Senate's changes.
