Follow the Action in Frankfort

KLC tracks hundreds of bills each session to ensure city officials are informed on proposed legislation and its potential impact on cities. This is in addition to bills KLC is actively working from the Legislative Agenda.

For more an in-depth weekly report, make sure you are receiving the KLC Capitol Watch weekly e-blast that is sent to city officials every Friday and when urgent need arises. In the meantime, here are some terms we use when reporting on bills that helps you follow the action.

Under Evaluation
