HB 702: AN ACT relating to sibling visitation.

HB 702 amends Kentucky law to allow siblings (defined as sharing one parent) to petition a circuit court for reasonable visitation rights if it serves the child's best interest. The bill directly affects minors who have a sibling with whom they share a parent but lack a custodial relationship. Key provisions require a court hearing to determine if visitation is in the child's best interest, with minor siblings able to have an adult file the petition on their behalf. The law mirrors existing grandparent visitation procedures but specifically extends this right to siblings under the same legal framework.

HB 772: AN ACT relating to pharmaceutical manufacturers.

HB 772 amends Kentucky's definition of "transaction" under pharmaceutical distribution law to explicitly include pharmaceutical manufacturers. This clarifies that when manufacturers transfer drugs to distributors or other entities, those exchanges count as "transactions" under existing regulations. The bill does not create new requirements but ensures manufacturers are explicitly covered in the current tracking and recordkeeping framework for drug distribution. It directly affects pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies by standardizing how drug transfers are categorized under Kentucky law.
