By Kyeland Jackson —
Kentucky House approves Senate Bill 12 with a 57 to 35 vote. The bill now goes to Governor Matt Bevin’s desk, who is expected to sign it into law.
The bill mirrors executive orders by Bevin, erasing U of L’s current board of trustees in favor of a smaller board elected by the governor. The Kentucky Senate must approve Bevin’s appointments, which could fill the minority and political representation vacancies on the present board.
