2020 WINS FOR KIDS
- Senate Bill 40 will close the gaps in fingerprint background checks and better protect children in foster care by requiring foster care agencies to screen their employees for criminal charges.
- Senate Bill 45 will strengthen licensed child care program standards on healthy eating and drinking, active play, and screen time.
- Senate Bill 56 will ensure Kentucky complies with the federal minimum legal sale age for all tobacco products and eliminate purchase, use, and possession penalties for youth up to age 21 so children and teens can grow into healthier adults
- House Bill 32 will enact a state excise tax on e-cigarettes to help prevent use among youth.
