Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear vetoed House Bill 18, preventing landlords from refusing tenants with public housing assistance.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear vetoed House Bill 18, preventing it from allowing landlords to refuse tenants using public housing assistance such as Section 8 vouchers, and stopping cities from enforcing bans on housing and source of income discrimination. Beshear called the bill "wrong and mean" and criticized its potential impact on low-income families, senior citizens, and efforts to address homelessness. The bill now heads back to the General Assembly, where lawmakers may consider overriding the governor's veto.
