KY HB8

Proposes a constitutional amendment allowing the General Assembly to set its own regular session end date by law, rather than following fixed dates in Section 42 of the Constitution, unless three-fifths of members in each chamber agree to a different date.

Authorizes the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House to convene up to two additional sessions per year through Joint Proclamation, totaling no more than 12 legislative days annually.

Requires the Secretary of State to publish the full amendment question in a statewide newspaper by the first Tuesday in August before the election.

Submits the amendment to Kentucky voters for ratification at the next regular election when General Assembly members are chosen, with county clerks required to place the full question on ballots.
