C
B
My
name
is
Danny
Carroll
I'm
state
senator
from
the
second
district
of
Kentucky
Senate
Bill
160
is
a
bill
that
addresses
the
stable
accounts
in
Kentucky
and
just
to
remind
you.
These
are
tax-free
savings
accounts
that
those
who
have
disabilities
can
take
advantage
of
this
as
a
result
of
a
law
that
was
passed
in
2014.
At
this
point,
46
different
states
offer
these
accounts
and
the
purpose
of
these
accounts.
It
allows
those
with
disabilities
to
provide
for
savings
without
affecting
their
benefits
in
Kentucky.
B
The
maximum
that
someone
can
contribute
to
the
account
per
year
is
seventeen
thousand
dollars.
However,
they
can
contribute
additional
funds
if
those
funds
are
from
their
employment
in
the
amount
of
Thirteen
thousand
five
hundred
and
ninety
Congress
has
passed
a
law
that
will
age
will
increase
the
age
to
46.,
I.
Think
right
now.
B
It's
26
that
the
disability
has
to
occur
before
age
26
and
that
is
being
raised
to
age,
46,
effective
2026,
and
the
purpose
of
that
is
to
allow
veterans
who
become
disabled
during
war
to
to
be
able
to
qualify
for
this
in
Kentucky.
Right
now,
there
are
a
hundred
1119
accounts.
The
average
balance
in
these
accounts
is
nine
thousand
dollars
in
the
median
balance
is
five
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
This
bill
simply
provides
some
added
protections
to
those
funds.
B
There
are
four
basic
Provisions
that
these
funds
be
exempt
from
attachment
execution
or
garnishment,
be
disregarded
for
the
purposes
of
determining
eligibility
for
the
amount
of
any
public
assistance
program
unless
required
by
federal
law.
These
funds
shall
not
be
subject
to
claims
by
the
Cabinet
for
Health
and
Family
Services,
unless
required
by
federal
law
and
finally,
beyond
the
death
of
the
designated
beneficiary
transferred
to
the
estate.
B
The
designated
the
estate
of
the
designated
beneficiary
unless
prohibited
by
federal
law,
understand
that
these
funds
are
for
services
related
to
the
disability,
education,
food,
housing,
Transportation,
assistive
technology,
personal
support,
things
of
of
that
nature,
and
right
now
there
are
eight
other
states
who
have
placed
these
added
Protections
in
statute
to
to
protect
These
funds
and
Madam
chair
I'm
open
to
questions.
If
there
are.
C
A
D
Explain
my
vote.
Please
I
vote
Yes
I
just
want
to
take
this
an
opportunity
to
thank
our
chairman,
chairman
Carroll,
for
his
leadership
on
these
issues.
You
know
this
is
our
most
vulnerable
population,
most
disadvantaged
population
and
he
always
takes
action
to
address
issues
that
tried
to
make
your
life
a
little
bit
better
for
these
folks.
So
I
really
appreciate
this
leadership
and
again
I
vote
I.
C
B
And
I
do
want
to
mention
Senator
will
Schroeder
was
actually
what
worked
with
the
Allison
ball.
The
state
treasurer
to
get
this
program
started
in
Kentucky
and
and
I
I'm.
Very
grateful
for
that,
and-
and
you
know,
Senator
mayor
says,
I
make
try
I
do
things
that
to
make
life
better
for
those
with
disabilities
the
reality
of
it
is
they
make
my
life
better?
B
You
all
know
that
that
I
run
a
center
back
in
Paducah
and
and
where
we
serve
children
and
adults
with
disabilities
and
and
being
there
every
day
it
it
just
makes
your
day
better
makes
your
life
better
being
around
our
folks,
and
so
it
is
an
honor
to
serve
them
on
a
daily
basis.
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
Senate
Bill,
229,
Senator,
Julie
Rocky
Adams.
C
So
before
you
committee,
Senate,
Bill
229,
this
is
a
bill
that
has
been
around
for
many
years.
It
actually
came
to
be
as
a
result
of
the
explore
problem
that
we
had
in
Louisville.
C
So
229
also
allows
the
department
for
community-based
services
to
initiate
an
assessment
or
an
investigation
when
child
abuse
or
neglect
is
suspected
and
allows
discretion
to
make
announced
or
unannounced
home
visits,
depending
on
the
severity
of
the
case.
So
there's
three
sections
of
the
bill
section:
one
eliminates
an
internal
chain
of
command
section
two
talks
about
cross-agency,
reporting
and
section:
three
is
the
alternative
response
and
we
can
go
into
more
detail.
If
you
have
questions
on
those
three
sections,
but
Caroline,
do
you
have
anything
to
add.
E
So
I'll
just
add
some
comments
about
the
value
and
the
importance
of
involving
multiple
agencies.
You
know
so
many
times
when
we
see
these
horrific
heart-wrenching
cases
of
abuse
and
we
do
sort
of
an
after
action
and
look
back
on
gosh.
What
went
wrong?
We
we
see
that,
wouldn't
it
have
been
better
if
this
agency
had
been
involved
earlier.
That
agency
had
been
involved.
You
know
these
cases
are
complex.
Children
are
complex,
they
need
they
have
medical
needs.
They
have.
You
know
mental
health
needs.
E
There
are
prosecution
needs
if
the
case
is
going
to
move
forward
to
prosecutions,
and
so
it
is
now
well
respected
best
practice
not
only
in
the
state
of
Kentucky
but
all
over
the
country
that
involving
multiple
agencies
in
the
investigation
and
prosecution
of
child
abuse
cases
is
the
the
best
thing
not
only
for
the
child
and
family,
but
for
those
investigating
and
for
the
communities.
It's
so
so
important.
I
can't
I
can't
emphasize
enough
how
valuable
that
is
and
how
many
benef
benefits
there
are
to
that
children
receive
more
of
what
they
need.
E
Sometimes,
cases
involve
need
immediate
attention
in
order
to
get
evidence
quickly
and
your
those
children
are
more
likely
to
receive
that
that
response.
If
multiple
agencies
are
involved
but
here's
the
problem,
none
of
those
agencies
can
respond
properly.
We
can't
do
what
we
need
to
do
if
the
information
isn't
shared
right,
and
so
that's
what
this
cross.
E
You
know
sometimes
it's
very
challenging
to
piece
apart.
You
know
exactly
what's
going
on
and
and
what
needs
to
happen
next.
What
does
that
child
need?
What
does
the
family
need,
and
so
the
language
that
goes
into
that
report
is
so
key
and
that's
why
we
think
it's
important
that
the
the
initial
person
who
receives
the
information
is
also
the
emperor
the
person
that
makes
that
report
and
and
just
the
nature
of
how
children
speak
right,
sometimes
a
child.
E
You
know
it's
so
scary
for
them
to
come
forward
about
abuse,
and
so
they
may
test
an
adult
and
share
just
a
little
bit
of
information
and
then
share
a
little
bit
more.
So
you
can
imagine
that
these
reports
evolve.
You
know
the
the
information
we
receive
throughout
the
investigation
evolves,
and
so
what
we
get
in
the
report
that
initial
report
is
so
important
in
the
language
is
so
key
there,
so
that
I
think
that
just
speaks
to
the
value
of
that
and
we're
so
thankful
that
Senator
Adams
takes
on
these
important
issues.
D
Thank
you
Mr
chair
and
certainly
have
no
issues
with
the
bill.
Just
doing
a
little
bit
word
smithing
to
try
to
tighten
this
up,
just
as
you
folks
are
doing
and
I'm
looking
at
a
section
one
line:
five
where
it
says
Michelle
media
calls
an
oral
or
written
report
to
be
made.
What
would
that
not
be
an
oral
and
written
report
just
to
have
documentation
if
someone
has
made
an
oral
report,
where's
the
documentation
that
that
or
report
has
been
made.
E
Well,
so
in
the
this
might
be
something
that
our
our
TCP.
C
C
E
E
B
B
I
think
that
is
a
legitimate
concern,
because
with
with
ksb
or
law
enforcement,
I
mean
they're.
It's.
E
F
F
Yeah
well
I
mean
the
the
there's
a
phone
line,
so
in
that
case
reports
are
received
oral
rather
than
written.
There's
also
reports
can
be
made
online.
So
in
that
context,
reports
are
received
either
in
an
oral
format
or
written
both
are
not
required.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
receive
that
report
once.
D
B
Yes,
we
I
know
we
had
a
bill
a
couple
years
ago
with
dealing
with
the
school
system
and
their
concerns
about
school
systems
doing
their
own
investigations.
When
these
allegations
come
up
and
concerns
about
tanning
investigations,
have
you
all
had
any
discussions,
or
is
anything
come
up
about
that?
In
the
last
few
years,
I
was
unable
to
get
the
bill
through.
E
B
B
Just
just
as
information
we
were
going
to
hear
from
from
the
cabinet
today
to
to
talk
about
placements
institutional
settings,
long-term
treatment
for
juveniles
with
severe
mental
illness
as
part
of
the
DJJ
bill
that
will
be
moving
forward
tomorrow
in
a
r.
The
discussion
is
kind
of
turned
to
that
direction,
in
that
the
Commonwealth
lacks
the
capability
to
care
for
these
kids
within
DJJ
right
now,
they're
about
six
or
seven
kids,
a
severe
mental
illness
and
then
within
the
cabinet.
B
I
think
secretary
friedlander
said
anywhere
around
100
that
you
know
that
they're
always
searching
for
placements
for,
and
so
this
is
something
that
within
that
bill
and
we
didn't
we're
working
with
University
of
Louisville
right
now
and
Our
Lady
of
Peace
and
having
conversations
with
other
entities
to
try
to
find
a
solution
to
this,
where
we
can,
where
we
can
get
these
services,
and
so
that's
that's
kind
of
where,
where
we
are
with
that
and
it
there
will
be
Appropriations
in
the
DJJ
bill
to
help
for
the
immediate
need
that
we
have
and
then
hopefully
the
the
long-term
group
will
will
address
those
issues.
B
But
we
we
were
going
to
have
secretary
Freelander
here
this
morning
to
talk
about
those
struggles,
but
they
are
working
on
the
issue
as
we
speak.
So
we
did
not
do
that
today,
but
but
know
that
that
is
a
very
important
issue
that
falls
under
the
the
purview
of
this
committee
and
and
we
are
trying
to
address
some
things
now,
there's
been
good.
Cooperation
between
DJJ
came
to
Health
and
Family
Services
we've
had
a
few
meetings
in
trying
to
make
sure
that
these
services
are
available
and
just
to
give
you
an
example.
B
You've
all
heard
the
story
about
the
young
lady
that
had
been
in
in
a
Detention
Facility
for
years
and
severe
mental
illness,
and
we
found
out
that
this
young
woman
had
been
in
the
system
since
age
three
and
she
I
think
she's
had
over
50
different
placements.
I
think
that's
what
secretary
Freelander
said
and,
and
you
know,
and
then
in
the
recent
times,
things
that
come
up
where
she
was
locked
in
a
Cell
most
of
the
day,
not
getting
any
treatment.
B
They
had
tried
to
place
her
in
eight
different
long-term
treatment
facilities
and
because
her
violent
nature.
No
one
would
take
her,
and
so
it's
really
been
an
eye-opening
experience
to
to
learn
about
these
struggles
and
and
to
learn
how
how
poorly
we
are
prepared
to
to
deal
with
these
kids,
and
so
more
will
be
coming
on
that
and
then
but
I
just
want
to
make
you
all
aware
why
we
didn't
hear
more
today.
B
D
B
I
think
we
did
like
a
1.5
million,
and
it's
and
it's
right
now,
the
in
the
the
struggle
is
with
Staffing.
You
know
we,
we
may
have
the
ability
to
through
resources
the
University
of
Louisville
Our
Lady
of
Peace
to
to
help
staff
a
facility,
but
where
that
facility
is
going
to
be
is
the
problem
they
are.
They
are.
They
do
not
have
the
capacity
to
take
these
kids
and
now
they
are
adding
beds
to
their
facility.
B
But
that's
a
couple
years
down
the
road,
we're
looking
for
another
option
and
even
considering
private
providers
may
be
doing
some
alterations
to
to
their
facilities,
and
so
it's
it's
just
it's
really
a
struggle
right
now
and
we
we
tried
to
calculate
basically
a
three
to
one
as
far
as
Staffing
and
then
what
that
Staffing
cost
might
be,
and
so
the
the
figure
is
is
is
is
not
really
a
a
good
firm
figure
on
what
the
cost
will
be,
but
there
is
just
a
sense
of
urgency
to
try
to
get
something
done,
especially
for
those
kids
that
that
are
in
detention
right
now
that
need
treatment,
and
we
just
we
just
don't
have
it
available
so
I
want
to
thank
University
of
Louisville
for
for
stepping
up
and
meeting
with
us
and
I
mean
we're
still
a
long
way
from
having
an
answer,
but
we're
running
out
of
time
within
sessions.
B
D
I
agree,
I
think.
Obviously
there
has
to
be
a
sense
of
urgency
about
this,
even
though
I'm
no
longer
on
appropriations
of
Revenue
I
think
this
next
budget
cycle.
Maybe
the
next
two
may
be
the
most
challenging
that
we
Face
since
you
and
I
have
been
in
office
because
of
lack
of
federal
funding
that
we've
seen
the
last
couple
years
and
inflation
eating
this
a
lot
of
the
way
it
is
and
we're
going
to
make
some
very
tough
decisions.
D
But
I
certainly
agree
that
we
need
to
make
this
a
top
priority
and
not
certain
where
those
funds
will
come
from,
but
if
it
means
I'm
sitting
some
resources.
We
certainly
need
to
do
that,
but
again
just
want
to
commend
you
for
your
leadership
as
well.
The
other
folks
involved
in
this.
It's
a
terrible
situation
to
have
to
deal
with,
and
thank
you.
B
Any
other
questions
or
comments.
The
next
meeting
is
scheduled
for
next
Tuesday
at
March,
the
8th
at
9
00
a.m,
We
Stand
adjourned.
