Senate Bill 79, presented as clean-up legislation by Sen. Chris McDaniel, transformed in the Kentucky Senate to limit telework for state employees. Sen. Lindsey Tichenor's amendment aimed to address constituent concerns about government accessibility by requiring state employees to return to traditional work settings. The bill passed with some opposition, particularly from Sen. Gex Williams, who noted that management issues, not telework policies, should be the focus. With a broad definition of telework included, the bill reflects a contentious shift in state employment practices amidst changing dynamics in remote work.
"This bill is an effort to get them back to work so that we can serve those constituents."
"I don't think we're doing that so they can watch Fox News or CNN or whatever they want to do."
