Bevin and Beshear split the week in federal courts

Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, June 27, 2019, a lawsuit Attorney General Andy Beshear and the Jefferson County Teachers Association filed to stop the governor's "sickout subpoenas" and to prevent Bevin from fining teachers up to $1,000 per day for allegedly using sick days to attend rallies in support of public education, was returned to state court by a federal judge.

Judge Danny C. Reeves of the Eastern District of Kentucky granted Beshear's motion to remand, ordering the case sent back to state court because all of the issues in the complaint involve Kentucky law. In a press release, Beshear called the Governor's effort to remove this case to federal court "a stall tactic intended to further intimidate our Kentucky teachers."

On Friday, June 28, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit denied EMW Women's Surgical Center's petition for rehearing of the House Bill 2 ultrasound case, which the Governor's legal team is defending.

HB 2 (2017) requires an abortion provider to provide mothers with an ultrasound and a description of what it depicts, as well as the opportunity to hear the fetal heartbeat, before she chooses to terminate her pregnancy. In a press release, the Governor's office called the ruling "a major pro-life victory for Gov. Matt Bevin," and chided the Attorney General for not defending the law.
