(KFVS/WKYT) – Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear signed two bills related to education into law on Tuesday morning.
House Bill 307 establishes an admissions program that makes it easier for students to apply for a postsecondary education.
House Bill 642 increases the amount of money that a retired teacher is allowed to earn in a day from $170 to $200.
“This is and will always be an education-first administration, and I am always grateful for the opportunity to better support Kentuckians on their education journey and our hardworking teachers,” said Gov. Beshear. “House Bill 307 will create a proactive admissions program to help more public school students in Kentucky secure a higher education, while HB 642 will help retired teachers earn more in their next job.”
