flag A Kentucky judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Republican Auditor Allison Ball against Governor Andy Beshear over funding for a 2024 kinship caregiver law, which aims to support relatives caring for children affected by abuse or neglect. flag The law, designed to make kinship caregivers eligible for foster care payments, remains unimplemented due to a lack of funding approved by the state’s Republican-led legislature. flag Judge Thomas Wingate ruled the Cabinet for Health and Family Services had complied with auditor requests and that Ball lacked standing to sue. flag Beshear plans to seek the necessary funds in his next budget proposal, while Ball intends to issue subpoenas as the next step. flag The law seeks to assist an estimated 55,000 children currently in kinship care.
