Details as we begin tonight's legislative update today in Frankfurt.
State Representative Suzanne Miles, a Republican from Owensboro and House GOP caucus chair, filed House Bill two.
It's a school choice bill that, if passed, would allow the state to use money to go to private and charter schools.
There have been attempts to do this in the past, but they've been struck down by the courts.
The courts have ruled the state constitution doesn't allow it.
So what's different this time?
The bill would amend the Constitution if passed by 3/5 of the House and 3/5 of the Senate.
It would then go on the November ballot.
Then the voters in Kentucky would decide.
House Speaker David Osborne told the Lexington Herald-Leader he is, quote, confident the bill will pass the House.
He says he thinks the constitutional amendment supporting school choice will be on this year's ballot.
