When President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, our country faced unprecedented crises - a raging pandemic, economic crisis, climate crisis, and racial injustice. The President and Vice President ran for office on the promise to move quickly to tackle these crises head-on and deliver results for working families. That’s what the Biden-Harris Administration has done.

All people deserve to live free from discrimination. When you walk into a restaurant, a hotel, or any business open to the public, you are entitled to be served free from discrimination. For years, our nation’s civil rights laws have helped to make that ideal more real. The Supreme Court’s ruling in 303 Creative v. Elenis departs from decades of jurisprudence by creating an exception to protections against discrimination in public accommodations. On the last day of Pride Month, the Supreme Court has paved the way for businesses across our nation to discriminate in the name of “free expression”—against the LGBTQI+ community, racial and religious minorities, the disability community, and women.

At a time when we celebrate hard-won advancements in LGBTQI+ rights, this decision threatens future progress. President Biden and I will continue to rigorously enforce federal anti-discrimination protections and fight for the right of all people to participate equally in our society. And as a crucial part of that fight, we continue to call on Congress to pass the Equality Act.

What did the Kentucky legislature pass so far? A rundown of key bills, big and small.

Senate Bill 7: Teachers’ union dues Senate Bill 7 would stop automatic payroll deductions for union dues of certain public employees, specifically targeting teachers unions like the Kentucky Education Association (KEA) and the Jefferson County Teachers Association (JCTA), two unions with well-funded political action committees that tend to support Democrats for office.

Much of the justification for the bill was that it would free up certain public employees from being forced to contribute indirectly to a political organization with whom they may or may not agree.

However, the bill exempts police, corrections and fire departments from the provision. Unions for these organizations tend to support Republicans for office in Kentucky.

The bill passed both chambers on a mostly party line-basis. Some rural Republican legislators, where teachers and other school district employees make up a disproportionate number of the district, voted against the bill.
