The bill now heads back to the House.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Andy Beshear vetoed SJR 150 last week, calling it a &#8220;cruel bill.&#8221; The governor said the bill would cut off extra benefits, like SNAP, for about 500,000 Kentuckians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe that given we have zero statewide restrictions&#8211;and we haven&#8217;t for six months&#8211;all this resolution does is hurt these folks by cutting off this extra food aid, while doing absolutely nothing else,&#8221; the governor said in a video address last week.<\/p>\n<p>Senate President Robert Stivers has disputed Governor Beshear&#8217;s characterization of the bill. Stivers said SJR 150 states that the General Assembly has no intent &#8220;to impair or delay the ability of the Commonwealth to receive any federal stimulus or pandemic-related funds or services.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kentucky Senate overrides [Democrat Andy] Beshear\u2019s veto to end COVID State of Emergency.
