HB152: The AT&T Deregulation Bill's changes to KRS http://www.lrc.ky.gov/record/15RS/HB152.htm:

HB 152 (2015)—the AT&T Deregulation Bill—will stop landline access for poor urban folks, and many rural folks. HB 152 will also deregulate a state government agency, the Public Service Commission, PSC, to strip their power to take customer complaints for cell phone service and Internet.

Rural folks, supposedly, are covered right now, but for newly built rural homes, AT&T won't have to provide landline coverage to them.

Now Kentuckians are going to be dependent on the mercy and benevolence of AT&T's foreign customer service representatives to get their phone and internet issues resolved.

Here's the current laws that gives the Public Service Commission authority to handle complaints for telephone and internet problems.

278.5462 Broadband Services not subject to state regulation – Application of requirements of federal statutes and regulations—Consumer complaint—Telephone utility provision of service to competing local exchange. http://www.lrc.ky.gov/statutes/statute.aspx?id=14157

(5) The commission shall retain jurisdiction over cellular towers pursuant to KRS 278.665.

4.
In Kentucky, you are restricted from owning, or displaying baby ducks, baby chicks, or rabbits that have been dyed a different color than what Mother Nature has intended for the baby ducks, baby chicks, and rabbits... EXCEPT, if you're selling more than 6. Than it's all cool. Don't do it, unless you're doing it big. Factory farms of pink rabbits, purple chicks, and red ducks are perfectly legal in Kentucky. It's only illegal if you have only 5 pink ducks, or less.


“No person shall sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange, display or possess living baby chicks, ducklings, or other fowl or rabbits which have been dyed or colored; nor dye or color any baby chicks, ducklings or other fowl or rabbits; nor sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange or to give away baby chicks, ducklings or other fowl or rabbits, under two months of age in any quantity less than six, except that any rabbit weighing three pounds or more may be sold at an age of six weeks.

    In Kentucky, you need a license to walk around nude in your house. You, your naked spouse, and all of your naked friends need a state license, or else you could be fined $1,000 and/or jailed 30 days.


Operating society without license, penalty.

While it may be somewhat creepy to have nudist neighbors, if they kept to themselves, that wouldn't bother me. I'm more creeped-out by the government who wants to register all of the names of my naked neighbors. 

8.
Out of 120 counties, in 50 of Kentucky's dry counties (Dry... because alcohol is still illegal there), if a person has enough alcohol that makes it look like they're distributing alcohol to others, say, like at a party, or a Thanksgiving family dinner, or wines stored at a Catholic Church, you can be arrested, your alcohol taken from you, plus your vehicle.

(2) Any officer receiving such a warrant shall immediately execute it on the day it is received. (3) If admission is not given on demand, the officers enforcing the warrant shall force an entrance into the premises or vehicle.

Effective:January 2, 1978 History: Amended 1976 (1st Extra. Sess.) Ky. Acts ch. 14, sec. 221, effective January 2, 1978. -- Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 2554c-34.

KRS 440.060 http://www.lrc.ky.gov/statutes/statute.aspx?id=19226 Peace officers must arrest and return any children who have escaped from a reform institution:

  1. The officer of a house of reform and any peace officer or citizen may arrest, without warrant, and return to the institution, any child who escapes from a house of reform or home in which an inmate has been placed on parole.
  2. A peace officer shall arrest any child known by him to have escaped from a house of reform, and return him to the institution. Effective:October 1, 1942 History: Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. secs. 2095b-12, 2095b-15, 2095b-31.

This statute reminds me of the Fugitive Slave Act that George Washington enacted as President.

While I see the necessity of this law, after finding all of those dead bodies in Florida at the boy's reformatory... plus, never forget what created Charles Manson: Kentucky juvenile prison rapes.

This statute nullifies Section 24 of Kentucky's Constitution: All Kentuckians have a right to leave Kentucky. “Emigration to be free. Emigration from the State shall not be prohibited.”

10.

“Any person who displays, handles or uses any kind of reptile in connection with any religious service or gathering shall be fined not less than fifty dollars ($50) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100).”

While I have no desire to show off lizards to display my religious fervor, some folks may feel the need to do so, so this is a free speech issue, as well as a freedom of religion issue. As long as the animals aren't being abused, what's the problem?

Sure, some folks many kill themselves handling dangerous poisonous snakes, but that's their right... their right to be dumb.

But, for example, he shows, pretty convincingly, that in the slave labor camps—the "plantations," we call them, politely—the productivity increased more rapidly than in industry, with no technological advance, just the bullwhip. Just by driving people harder and harder to the point of survival, they were able to increase productivity and profit. And it’s not just the—he also points out that the word "torture" is not used in discussion of this period.
