This bill would restore licenses, credentials, or benefits to people who lost them for not following pandemic-related executive orders or agency rules. It would also give the state Attorney General new oversight powers over the administrative regulation process and allow courts to remove agency officials who willfully violate spending limits set by the legislature, with a 10-year ban on holding office afterward. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who lost professional licenses or government benefits due to pandemic restrictions, state agency officials, and anyone who interacts with state licensing or administrative processes.
