KY student-athletes can profit from name, image and likeness By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - After talking with higher education and legislative leaders in the commonwealth, Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order on Thursday allowing student athletes in Kentucky to receive fair compensation for the use of their name, image and likeness. Gov. Beshear is the first governor to allow compensation for name, image and likeness by executive order. "Today's step was done in cooperation with all of our public universities as well as leadership of both parties," said Gov. Beshear after signing the executive order Thursday at the Capitol. "This action ensures we are not at a competitive disadvantage in recruiting, and also that our student athletes have the same rights and opportunities as those in other states. For any individual athlete, their name, image and likeness are their own and no one else's." The Commonwealth's public universities applauded Gov. Beshear's executive order.

Andy Beshear announced a new incentive plan today to pay as many as 15,000 Kentuckians on unemployment insurance a one-time $1,500 bonus to rejoin the workforce by July 30, 2021. The Governor set aside $22.5 million in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds to pay for the program to incentivize more people to leave unemployment insurance and begin filling job vacancies throughout the commonwealth, to further ignite an economy that is beginning to lift off as Kentucky emerges from the pandemic with weekly job announcements and positive economic news. "We want every Kentuckian working and participating as we sprint out of this pandemic with our economy booming," Gov. Beshear said. "We wanted the right solution - not a red state or blue state solution - to thread this needle right to energize our thriving economy while looking out for those still trying to emerge from this once-in-a-lifetime pandemic who desperately need help. This is a step in the right direction for our people, our economy and our employers." "On behalf of Houchens Industries, its family of companies and the entire community, we applaud the Governor's action taken today to incentivize employees to return to work," said Spencer A.
