This bill died with 2022 Regular Session. It reached “Passed House” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 2 to designate the first Saturday of October of each year as "First Responder, Doctor, Nurse, and Health Care Professional Recognition Day"; require the Governor to proclaim the date each year and require state flags to be lowered to half-mast on state public buildings from sunrise to sunset on that day.
