Representative Marianne Proctor- 2025 Regular Session Questionnaire

Kentucky’s Constitution requires lawmakers to convene annual sessions on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of each year. In odd-numbered years like 2025, lawmakers meet for no more than 30 legislative days and must adjourn by midnight on March 30.

The Kentucky General Assembly will convene the 2025 Regular Session at Noon on January 7 in the historic State Capitol Building. This will be the last session in this building for several years, as renovations aimed at maintaining the facility’s historic integrity while making it more accessible, and incorporating modern technology.

While the legislature can only take official action like passing laws during session, lawmakers use the time between sessions to study issues and work with stakeholders. Lawmakers met throughout the summer and fall to consider issues that will be addressed with legislation during the 2025 Regular Session. Presentations included several bills that will be filed when the legislature convenes on January 7, as well as information on other issues and updates on laws already passed as lawmakers monitor how they are implemented. In addition to committee work, special task forces have discussed housing and labor shortages, the skyrocketing use of Artificial Intelligence, and the governance of the state’s largest school system.

Frankly, the best way to know what lawmakers are going to do is to look at what they have already done. Earlier this year, during the 2024 Regular Session, the legislature passed a strong, responsible two-year budget with record funding for K-12 public schools (even after adjusting for inflation), and made strategic investments in public safety, infrastructure, and health services. Lawmakers also invested $2.7 billion in road, water, and air travel infrastructure; school facilities; public pensions; tourism; and community development. In addition, the House and Senate also passed legislation aimed at safeguarding Constitutional rights; protecting Kentucky children from predators; ensuring access to reliable energy sources; increasing access to lifesaving medical services; addressing worker shortages in health care and education; and protecting Kentucky consumers.

Since lawmakers addressed the budget last session, they will be free to consider a number of other issues this year. Our legislative agenda is shaping up to include additional efforts to get Kentuckians working, increase access to affordable health care, protect Kentucky children, honor our veterans, and help strengthen our communities. All of these are important if we want to continue making Kentucky the best place to live, work, and build a life. If you are interested in following along, please visit the legislature’s website and email me to be added to a list for regular updates.
