Prohibits the use of tax dollars for advocacy, lobbying, or executive agency lobbying activities.
The bill amends Kentucky law to prohibit the use of local, state, and federal tax dollars for advocating for or against public ballot questions, lobbying, or participating in executive agency lobbying activities. It allows aggrieved citizens to file a cause of action in court for violations, with potential damages of $250,000 per violation. Violators face punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees. They are also barred from holding public trust positions for ten years. The bill waives sovereign immunity for these violations.
