The Senate passed four bills this morning, three of them unanimously.
That included Senate Bill 14, which deals with the board of cosmetology and nail technicians.
Senate Minority Caucus Chair Reggie Thomas from Lexington sponsored the bill and explained one of its key provisions.
The current body of law for cosmetology allows that the Board of Cosmetology can bring a direct criminal action against any tilt Nail technician.
Bypassing our traditional entities such as the county attorney, such as a Commonwealth attorney.
And that's a real problem because those two prosecutor bodies should be able to vet any person who's being charged with a crime.
This bill eliminates that provision and says that if criminal actions are to be brought before the nail technicians, they have to be vetted by the Commonwealth attorney or the county attorney.
The full Senate also passed Senate Bill 131, which prohibits campaign groups from using artificial intelligence to make deepfakes that misrepresent a candidate.
And a bill designed to crack down on shoplifting.
Also passed unanimously.
Only three members voted against Senate Bill 45, which would allow Kentucky to participate in a new alert system for young adults who are not covered by the Amber Alert system.
