Following our gathering in the rotunda with KPTA and KSHA we will dismiss so you can meet with your legislators.
Here are some talking points to address with your legislators.
- The Governor wishes to consolidate licensure boards. Doing this will weaken the effectiveness of licensure boards. This would be not save KY money.
