Lawmakers in Kentucky are entering a critical sixty-day period that will shape how tax dollars are spent across the state. During the 2026 legislative session, the General Assembly is expected to pass a two-year state budget, with priorities including education, infrastructure, public safety, health care, and affordability. Republicans, who hold supermajorities in both chambers, say economic policy and fiscal responsibility remain key focuses, while leaders across both parties point to the importance of planning amid uncertainty. The legislative session runs through April.
