SMOKING BAN EXPECTED TO PASS COMMITTEE TUESDAY
The bill would establish a statewide smoking ban in Kentucky. It may pass the House, but:
“You know my concern I don’t think it has the votes to get out of the Senate. So we’re going to start counting again and if we don’t have the votes to get it out of the Senate I don’t believe we’ll vote on it on the House,” she says.WFPL/Kenny Colston

JUVENILE JAILS CAN'T SEARCH NAKED TEENS, SAYS NEW STATE POLICY
A federal judge ruled that searching the naked teens before they are admitted to a juvenile facility is unconstitutional:
Stacy Floden, director of program services for the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice, said that "body identification/health assessment" screenings, for years, have been part of the standard operating procedure for all youths entering, as inmates or residents, all facilities overseen by the juvenile justice department.Herald-Leader/Jennifer Hewlett
When asked repeatedly if, before the Dec. 9 directive, that meant all of the entering youths were required to be nude during those examinations, she repeatedly answered "yes." But later, she said she needed to double check that. She later sent a reporter an e-mail saying she could not discuss pending litigation.
