Better known as the Safer Kentucky Act.
We've told you about it.
The bill sponsored by first term Republican Representative Jared Bowman of Louisville, was first introduced over the summer as an 18 point plan to address violent crime.
From the start, there was some bipartisan criticism of certain measures in the proposal.
Speaking to reporters today in Frankfort, Representative Bowman said he appreciated the feedback.
One item stripped from the bill is a provision that would give Wyatt's mapping authority to local and state law enforcement.
A so called three strikes rule remains in the bill.
It would mandate that anyone convicted of three violent felonies must serve life without parole.
The ACLU of Kentucky says Republican lawmakers are missing the mark when it comes to making the state a safer place to live.
House Bill five is now waiting to be assigned to a committee.
