A Senate bill (SB9) that relates to housing districts has cleared both chambers of the Kentucky General Assembly after a conference committee report was filed in both houses.

The bill, titled "AN ACT relating to housing districts," aims to establish new guidelines and regulations for housing districts within the state. The legislation seeks to provide clearer oversight and management structures for these areas, potentially impacting local governance and residential development policies.

Chief sponsor Senator R. Mills of District 104 leads the effort, with three co-sponsors including A. Mays Bledsoe and J. Higdon. The bill has garnered support from multiple legislators across both chambers.

The conference committee report was filed in both the House and Senate on April 14, marking the final legislative step before the bill moves to the Governor for signature or veto. The bill's passage through both chambers signifies a significant milestone in its journey toward becoming law.
