Abstract:

No major developments occurred in Kentucky case law in the relevant time period of this update. Although areas of law other than oil and gas were the foundation for the ultimate decisions, three Kentucky appellate court opinions that loosely affect the oil and gas industry are discussed hereinbelow: Kentucky Natural Gas Corp. v. City of Leitchfield ex rel. Its Utilities Commission, Yost Energy, LLC v. Gaines,' and Milam v. Viking Energy Holdings.4 Notably, the first two opinions are "not to be published." According to the Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure, "opinions that are not to be published shall not be cited or used as binding precedent in any other case in any court of this state."' However, if there is no published opinion that would adequately address an issue before the Kentucky court of appeals, an unpublished decision rendered after January 1, 2003, may be cited for consideration. Similarly, the third opinion states: "this opinion is not final and shall not be cited as authority in any courts of the Commonwealth of Kentucky."

Abstract:

Automated enforcement of commercial vehicle regulations is one potential method through which states can generate revenue and improve safety compliance by more efficiently directing the attention of law enforcement and state Department of Transportation (DOT) officials to non-compliant carriers and identifying carriers who may be evading taxes. This paper estimates the potential benefits of remote enforcement of weight–distance tax regulations in Kentucky, United States (U.S.) using data from camera-equipped Kentucky Automated Truck Screening (KATS) systems and PrePass weigh stations in Kentucky, and links these data sources with administrative tax returns and Kentucky State Police citation data. This research estimates that remote enforcement and identification of tax evaders could generate up to $10.4 million annually in revenue. Implementation of KATS weigh stations increases monthly impounds by approximately $5,000 per station, or about 160%. Overall, the results indicate that remote enforcement can assist state DOTs and law enforcement agencies targeting non-compliant carriers and may be an effective tax enforcement tool for states.

Abstract:

Abstract: Late in the Civil War, northern missionaries from African Methodist denominations flooded into Kentucky and across the upper South, where they sought new members, especially among Black Methodist congregations. But they encountered resistance from an unexpected foe—the law of church property. White Southern Methodists had prided themselves on their "Mission to the Negroes," and white churchmen used litigation to ensure that Black churches remained in the hands of the proslavery church, even after emancipation. This article recovers an otherwise unknown series of Kentucky court decisions on questions of race and church property. Other jurisdictions followed Kentucky's lead, frustrating shifts in allegiance to Black northern denominations. These cases give new context to the formation of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church (CME) in 1870, which tied Black congregations firmly to the southern church. By taking law into account, the role of sacred space, church property and financial wealth, and the use of state power all emerge as key elements of the story. The legal history of CME's founding and its early growth highlight a reconstituted white supremacy, which imposed a strict requirement that the new denomination avoid all politics and yet could not prevent the emergence of a vibrant and longstanding spiritual community.

Abstract:

Purpose Determine associations of strength of local smoke-free laws and urban/rural location with cigarette and smokeless tobacco use among high school students in grades 10 and 12. Design Secondary data analysis from the 2004–2018 biennial Kentucky Incentives for Prevention Survey Setting Public high schools in Kentucky Sample N = 353502 10th/12th graders Measures County-level smoke-free law status from the Kentucky Center for Smoke-free Policy; Rural Urban Continuum Codes; self-reported last 30-day alcohol, marijuana, cigarette, and smokeless tobacco use Analysis Generalized estimating equations modeling assessed the association of law status and urban/rural location with tobacco use across cohorts, controlling for demographics and other substance use. Results Students in counties with a comprehensive smoke-free law were 23% less likely to smoke cigarettes and 16% less likely to use smokeless, compared to those in counties without a law. Students in counties with moderate/weak laws did not differ in likelihood of use for either product, compared to those in counties without a law. Students in urban counties were 14% less likely to smoke, but there was no difference in likelihood of smokeless use by urban/rural location. Conclusion Comprehensive smoke-free laws are associated with a lower likelihood of youth cigarette and smokeless use. Rural youth may be at increased risk of cigarette smoking relative to youth in urban areas.

Abstract:

This article examines how religious controversy affected antebellum Kentucky's legal culture and helped construct the relationship between church and state. It incorporates legal theory to broaden conceptions of law and argues that Baptist churches served as important legal sites for their communities. More than simply punishing moral transgressions, churches litigated disputes that under common law and within county courts would be considered criminal or civil law. By acknowledging that individuals produced law outside of state institutions, the article illuminates a more complex and fluid trans-Appalachian legal culture, one in which church members and non-members alike possessed a capacious vision of law. During the late 1820s and 1830s, Kentucky Baptists faced years of discord emanating from Alexander Campbell's “Reformation.” Amidst a religious backdrop of doctrinal controversy and schism, afflicted churches witnessed a decline of disciplinary activities as individuals' ceased to envision their churches as sites for neutral dispute resolution. The failure of church courts to contain internal dissension and curtail schism led to contentious court battles over rights to local meetinghouses. As judges reviewed church disciplinary records and litigants debated religious doctrine at the courthouse, these church property disputes highlight the process of redefining church-state relations in the post-establishment era.

Abstract:

Child trafficking is prevalent and poses a serious problem in Kentucky and throughout the United States. Though Kentucky successfully passed the Safe Harbor law in 2013, no residential treatment programs exist in Kentucky specifically for children who have been trafficked, leaving child welfare caseworkers with very few options for treatment and placement of some of the state’s most vulnerable and traumatized youth. This study used administrative data from the state’s child welfare system to identify case characteristics of alleged victims of child trafficking in Kentucky and trends in case outcomes. Analyses were based on 698 alleged victims of child trafficking reported between 2013 and 2017. Findings indicate that an alarming majority of the alleged child victims were reportedly trafficked by a family member and were often at home when these allegations were received. Further, cases were more likely to be substantiated and/or founded when law enforcement was involved, a forensic interview was conducted, and when cases involved drugs. Reflecting previous literature, cases that involved a family member facilitating trafficking, young children, and drugs were more likely to involve multiple perpetrators. Findings suggest opportunities for research and practice to address child trafficking, particularly among overlooked and underreported populations at-risk for child trafficking, and emphasize the need for standardized, trauma-informed training across the system of care in order to better prevent and alleviate victimization.

Abstract:

The current study was undertaken to evaluate chlorine resistance among strains of Salmonella Kentucky isolated from chicken carcasses. Selected strains (n = 8) were exposed to 30 ppm of chlorine in 10% buffered peptone water (pH 7.4) for 0 to 10 min at 4°C and 150 rpm. The initial level (mean ± SD) of Salmonella Kentucky was 6.18 ± 0.09 log CFU/ml and did not differ (P > 0.05) among strains. A two-way analysis of variance indicated that the level of Salmonella Kentucky in chlorinated water was affected (P < 0.05) by a time by strain interaction. Differences among strains increased as a function of chlorine exposure time. After 10 min of chlorine exposure, the most resistant strain (SK145) was 5.63 ± 0.54 log CFU/ml, whereas the least resistant strain (SK275) was 3.07 ± 0.29 log CFU/ml. Significant differences in chlorine resistance were observed for most strain comparisons. Death of Salmonella Kentucky was nonlinear over time and fitted well to a power law model with a shape parameter of 0.34 (concave upward). Time (minutes) for a 1-log reduction of Salmonella Kentucky differed (P < 0.05) among strains: >10 min for SK145, 6.0 min for SK254, 1.5 min for SK179, and 0.3 to 0.65 min for other strains. Results of this study indicate that strain is an important variable to include in models that predict changes in levels of Salmonella Kentucky in chlorinated water.

Abstract:

While several federal laws including the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Family Medical Leave Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act provide some freedom from discrimination due to pregnancy and breastfeeding-related conditions, many pregnant workers in Kentucky were not covered under these existing laws. The intent of Senate Bill 18, the Kentucky Pregnant Workers Act, was to provide clarity to employers about the protections afforded to pregnant workers by law as well as the need for employers to provide the same level of accommodations for pregnant workers that are available for those who are disabled. Similar bills had been filed during the 2015 to 2018 legislative sessions, and in 2019, Senate Bill 18 passed 87-5 and was signed by the Governor on April 9, 2019. The purpose of this article is to analyze a pregnancy anti-discrimination bill that passed during the 2019 Kentucky General Assembly utilizing Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework. This article also contains multiple policy alternatives, interest group involvement related to pregnancy anti-discrimination policy, unintended consequences of policy implementation as well as potential issues with enforcement of the Kentucky Pregnant Workers Act.

Abstract:

In Kentucky Association of Health Plans, Inc. v. Miller,, the Supreme Court unanimously held that states’ “any willing provider” laws are not preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Court ruled that states can regulate their health maintenance organizations (HMOs), and thus upheld a Kentucky law that requires insurers to reimburse services of any health care provider who is willing and able to meet established criteria. The Supreme Court has heard several cases related to ERISA in the last few years, and other such cases are working their way through the court system. Coupled with this most recent decision in Miller, the Supreme Court may significantly alter the shape of the insurance industry.

AbstractThis study provides a descriptive account of rationalizations for poaching used by wildlife law violators. There has been little research on motivations for poaching. This study uses qualitative data obtained from surveys and in-depth interviews with wildlife law violators and conservation officers in Kentucky to examine rationalizations used by wildlife law violators to excuse and justify participation in this type of illegal activity. Comments from conservation officers and violators revealed widespread use of rationalizations, with denial of responsibility being most common. The study also used claims of entitlement, defense of necessity, and denial of necessity of the law. Findings contribute to our knowledge of why people illegally take wildlife resources.

Abstract:

The Kentucky and Virginia resolutions are the political statements that were drafted in 1798. They are legislative laws adopted by the Republicans as a position opposing the direction of the federal laws regarding foreign aliens, the press law, and unconstitutional sedition, according to the Republican legislator who argued through these decisions the right and duty of these states to declare null and unconstitutional (1). These federal laws, in reference to the rights and strong legitimacy of these states derived from the spirit of the Constitution of the Union of the United States. The Kentucky and Virginia resolutions were written in the period between (1798-1799) secretly by Vice President Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, respectively, as both of them referred to the resolutions as the “98 Principles” (2).

Abstract:

Kentucky has the second highest adult smoking rate, has the highest incidence of lung cancer in the nation, and does not have a state law prohibiting smoking inside workplaces. These tobacco disparities and policy gap leave Kentucky behind tobacco control progress made in other areas of the United States. Williamstown is a rural community with a population of 3,900 and a strong history of tobacco use. In 2017, the Northern Kentucky Health Department, in partnership with Interact for Health, worked with two coalitions to collect data, educate the community, and advocate for a local smoke-free policy. Coalition members collected 227 public opinion surveys. Community leaders—including the mayor—and advocates participated in Citizen Science, a research collaboration between scientists and volunteers. Advocates were trained on AirBeam monitors, wearable devices that gather air quality data in real time, and then were deployed in six establishments. The indoor air quality in smoking establishments was two times worse than the outdoor air quality standard. Community leaders and advocates then mobilized to educate City Council members on the benefits of a smoke-free policy, focusing on business, health, and tourism. In 2018, the Williamstown City Council voted in favor of the smoke-free policy, becoming the first jurisdiction in the Northern Kentucky region with a comprehensive smoke-free policy. The Citizen Science process helped develop coalition capacity, build community support, and engage policymakers in a successful smoke-free policy effort. Through participatory and inclusive efforts, local residents were able to affect policy change in the direction of health for all people.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to analyze radon awareness and disclosure policy proposed during the 2018 Kentucky General Assembly using Kingdon’s Multiple Stream Framework. Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Exposure to radon occurs largely in the home. The proportion of homeowners who have completed radon testing remains low, and home radon testing is voluntary in most states. The Environmental Law Institute recommends states enact policies to promote radon awareness and testing. The most common radon awareness policy mandates radon disclosure during a real estate transaction. A bill to mandate radon disclosure during a real estate transaction was proposed during the 2018 Kentucky General Assembly but was met with opposition and was not filed. As a policy alternative, an administrative regulation to amend the Form for Seller’s Disclosure of Conditions was proposed to the Kentucky Real Estate Commission. Administrative regulations set forth by government regulatory agencies are equally enforceable and may be a more politically feasible alternative to enacting public policy. Nurses are positioned to promote the health of patients and populations. Nurses advocating for radon control legislation and/or administrative regulations may push radon control policy higher on the governmental decision agenda leading to policy change to decrease the development of lung cancer.

Abstract:

Recent years have seen increasing concerns about the importance of offender reentry and how to best facilitate ex-offenders remaining crimefree. Common responses have been to enhance punitiveness, and to decrease resources and support services for ex-offenders. Results have been consistently high levels of recidivism, and consequently increasingly punitive responses. The present study examines whether a cohort of offenders released to the community in Kentucky either under parole supervision or at the expiration of their sentences are more likely to be reincarcerated within a 5-year period. The participants of each cohort were constructed into two groups using propensity score matching to control for differences between them.

Abstract:

Abstract More than 500,000 preventable deaths annually have been attributed to the growing opioid epidemic and increased opioid prescribing rates by providers (CDC, 2016). A report by the American Medical Association (AMA) found that only 50% of physicians have taken continuing professional development (CPD) activities on managing pain with opioid alternatives (2016). In 2012, Kentucky passed a comprehensive law regulating the prescribing of controlled substances and requiring ongoing CPD in opioid prescribing and abuse. UK HealthCare CECentral partnered with the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy (KODCP) to provide CPD training. This study utilized retrospective learner data collected from CECentral between 2012 – 2017. Since the initiative began in 2012, CECentral has provided this training to 8,893 individuals: 5,877 physicians, 1,527 APNs, and 831 other health professionals. This initiative has resulted in more than 6,000 total participants committing to various forms of clinical practice change to help combat the opioid crisis. Between 2012 and 2016, these commitments resulted in an increase in Buprenorphine/Naloxone prescriptions and prescribers requesting controlled substance reports on their patients. An overall decrease in opioid prescriptions was also shown to be a result of this Kentucky opioid initiative. Results of the study indicate that partnerships between state agencies and CPD providers can lead to practice improvements that address public health concerns. Future research should focus on the efficiency and effectiveness of CPD training and such collaborations as public health initiatives.

Abstract:

This study examines complexity as a measure of support for organizational redirection. This study considers whether 16 items (culture, mission, values, decentralization, policies and procedures, administrative reporting practices, weapons, contract, pay, benefits, patrol boundaries, equalization of workload, size of boundaries, communications, 10-codes, and car numbers) appropriately characterized a suppressed measure of complexity related to complex organizational change, a police department merger. The current study utilizes data collected from 390 sworn officers from two merged law enforcement agencies in Kentucky. The results of the structural equation model analysis supported the view that four factors (mission, logistics, benefits, and policy) fashion an underlying construct for measuring complexity related to organizational change/redirection. The implications of these findings are also considered.
