General Assembly passes a massive anti-crime bill known as the Safer Kentucky Act.

A massive anti-crime bill is on its way to the Governor's desk. Under House Bill 5, billed as the Safer Kentucky Act, anyone who sells or distributes fentanyl that causes a fatal overdose could be charged with manslaughter. It also stiffens penalties for repeat violent offenders, and outlaws camping on streets, sidewalks and other public grounds.
