PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 1
Kentucky Changes to Legislative Session End Dates and Special Sessions Amendment
- The amendment would remove specific legislative session end dates from the constitution and provide instead that odd-year sessions are limited to 30 legislative days and even-year sessionsare limited to 60 legislative days.
- The amendment would allow the state legislature to set the legislative end date by statute or joint resolution and to change the end date of the legislative session through a three-fifths vote in each chamber.
- It would also allow the House speaker and the Senate president to jointly call a special legislative session for up to 12 days.
- The measure would also add that laws, except general appropriations, take effect on July 1 in the year the act was passed or 90 days after it was approved, whichever is later.
This amendment allows the legislature to increase its power over how legislative sessions are conducted. In particular, it gives the legislature power to call a special session, which currently can only be done by the governor.
PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 2
No Right to Abortion in Constitution Amendment
Constitutional Amendment 2 would amend the Bill of Rights of the Kentucky Constitution to state that nothing in the state constitution protects or secures a right to abortion or requires the funding of abortion.
In other words, no one in Kentucky will be able to claim that a right to abortion is any way protected by our state Constitution. The legislature can then ban all rights to abortion, and any lawsuit claiming that the ban is unconstitutional will lose in court.
The Fayette County Democratic Party supports a NO vote on both of these Amendments.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY HISTORY
Democrats form the oldest political party in America and the youngest in spirit. For more than 200 years, Democrats have represented the interests of working families, fighting for equal opportunities and justice for all Americans. Our party was founded on the conviction that wealth and privilege should not be an entitlement to rule and the belief that the values of hardworking families are values that should guide us.Today Democrats are fighting to repair the damage done during the Bush years and grow an economy based on the values of Main Street, not greed and reckless speculation.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE PLATFORM
The vision is simple. Democrats want an America that gives all Americans the chance to live out their dreams and achieve their God-given potential. Democrats want an America that is still the world’s strongest force for peace and freedom. And Democrats want an America that is coming together around our enduring values instead of drifting apart. Read the 2016 Democratic Party Platform.
