Frankfort, KY – State lawmakers have approved a measure that would allow Kentucky military veterans who have been totally disabled in the line of duty to stay in state park lodges free of charge for up to three days. The Senate approved the measure 38-to-zero on Tuesday. The House had approved it last month 97-0. The Senate also approved legislation on Tuesday that would require state agencies to grant interviews to at least five military veterans who apply for vacant jobs. That measure also passed the Senate on Tuesday 38-0. The House had approved it last month, also 97-to-zero. Both measures now go to Governor Steve Beshear. Spokeswoman Kerri Richardson said Beshear intends to sign both into law.
