Kentucky.gov has created Bill Watch and this free service enables users to track legislation during the Kentucky Legislative Session.

Published daily during the legislative session and a final version at the end of the session. It contains summaries of the bill and all actions taken by the legislature on each bill. Legislative Research Commission

The Kentucky legislature convenes in the regular session for 60 days in even-numbered years and for 30 days in odd-numbered years. The governor may call a special session. The Kentucky Constitution mandates that a regular session be completed by April 15 in even-numbered years and by March 30 in odd-numbered years.

Bills which are introduced are assigned to a standing committee, and the assignments are determined by the subject of the bill. Bills are often pre-filed before the legislature meets and interim committees are responsible for drafting bills which are prefiled before the legislature meets.

LRC is a full-time service body for the legislature. The LRC provides committee staffing; bill drafting; oversight of the state budget and educational reform; production of educational materials; maintenance of a reference library and Internet site; and the preparation and printing of research reports, informational bulletins and a legislative newspaper.
