Sen. Max Wise's Legislative Update - Fri 15 Feb 2019 Senator Wise reports on third week of the 2019 regular session.  Personal political commentary/opinions of the writer By State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville) 16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties It was a productive third week of the 2019 Regular Session, as the General Assembly remained hard at work in Frankfort. Working with our colleagues across the aisle, we forged ahead in committee meetings in which we heard testimony, discussed policy, and advanced bills for a floor vote. Friday, we reached the filing deadline for new bills in the Senate. Moreover, we are pleased with the consequential legislation that is before us this session. The Senate Majority made notable progress on our legislative agenda successfully passing nine bills over the course of the week. This legislation will now move to the other chamber to be deliberated by the State House of Representatives. Prominently among those passed were bills concerning 2nd Amendment rights and pro-life measures. Always a passionate topic, the Senate addressed abortion this week. After much consideration, we passed a "Fetal Heartbeat Bill." Senate Bill 9 would ban the ability to receive an abortion after the detection of a fetal heartbeat with the exception of a medical emergency to which the mother's life is at risk. This pro-life legislation is just one of the many pro-life related bills the General Assembly will consider this year. I will remain steadfast by voting to protect life, as I was a co-sponsor of this bill. Senate Bill 150, would allow someone to carry a concealed firearm without a license. The measure states that people 21 or older who are able to lawfully possess a firearm may carry a concealed weapon without a license in the same locations as people with valid state-issued licenses. Another provision states no one would be allowed to carry or possess any deadly weapon where it is already prohibited by federal law. I cast a "yes" vote on this bill. Every day, I am mindful of the primary obligation we have as legislators: To represent those who entrusted us with this responsibility. The Regular Session is a pivotal time to statutorily address the needs and concerns of our district in the capitol. I remain humbled to serve as your State Senator as we continue to work towards developing policy that is best for all Kentuckians.
