Lawmakers reconvene for final 2 days of session

KENTUCKY PRESS NEWS SERVICE
Kentucky's state legislators will be back in Frankfort Monday and Tuesday for the final two days of the current legislative session. It's likely the action will run late into the night on both days.

Lawmakers are likely to work on the state's ailing pension system for state and local government retirees.

There may also be a push to approve the so-called Hemp Bill. The bill has been OK'd by the Senate but has not been before the House of Representatives.

Another bill whose future is uncertain involves legislative redistricting. Other topics likely to be covered during the final two days include voting access for soldiers stationed overseas and health care.
