HB 269 will limit the use of the death penalty in Kentucky
On April 8, 2022, Governor Andy Beshear signed HB 269 into law. The legislation would eliminate the death penalty for individuals diagnosed with a severe mental illness. We appreciate Governor Beshear's support and are grateful for the large bipartisan majority in the Kentucky General Assembly that sent this legislation to his desk.
