International Education Legislation
The new short legislative session has begun in Frankfort. So far, two world language-related bills have been filed:
- One bill (BR34) sponsored by Representative Stan Lee seeks to amend KRS 2.013 (declaring English as the official language of the Commonwealth) to mandate that all documents produced or utilized by the Commonwealth be in the English language only.
- Another bill (BR262) sponsored by Representative Reginald Meeks is a joint resolution that proposes directing the Education Cabinet, its agencies, and the schools associated with the agencies to recognize and celebrate International Education Week (2nd week in November).
As individual citizens, if you wish to comment on the legislation, go to
