                In response to a question by Co-Chair Roeding, Mr. Scott stated that coal combustion waste, mining waste, water treatment plant waste, waste water treatment sludge, and oil and gas drilling waste were all examples of special waste sites or facilities as defined by this administrative regulation.

                A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend the STATUTORY AUTHORITY paragraph to insert a statutory citation; (2) to amend the NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY paragraph to clearly state the necessity for and function served by this administrative regulation; and (3) to amend the title and Section 1 to comply with the drafting and format requirements of KRS Chapter 13A.

                In response to a question by Co-Chair Roeding, Mr. Jennings stated that an exclusionary rider enabled an applicant to obtain health insurance at a more reasonable rate by excluding coverage for up to three medical conditions, such as diabetes.  To protect the consumer, this administrative regulation required the insurer to fully disclose the exclusions in the application and required the consumer to acknowledge them in writing.

                In response to questions by Representative Lee, Ms. Banahan stated that exclusionary riders were not permitted for renewed policies if they were not attached to the original policy.  The original policy was guaranteed renewable each year.

                In response to a question by Co-Chair Pullin, Mr. Jennings stated that the amendments to this administrative regulation resolved any concerns of the chiropractors and optometrists.

                A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend the RELATES TO, STATUTORY AUTHORITY, and NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY paragraphs and Section 2 to comply with the drafting and format requirements of KRS Chapter 13A; and (2) to amend Sections 2(1) and 3(3) to add that the exclusionary rider applied to a medical condition that was diagnosed prior to the issuance of coverage.

                808 KAR 10:360. Safe harbor for limited liability company membership interests. In response to a question by Co-Chair Roeding, Ms. Keefe stated that this amended administrative regulation clarified when a membership interest in a limited liability company met the safe harbor criteria so that the interest was not subject to the Securities Act of Kentucky, KRS Chapter 292.

                A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend the STATUTORY AUTHORITY paragraph to correct a statutory citation; and (2) to amend the NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY paragraph and Section 2 to comply with the drafting requirements of KRS Chapter 13A.

Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.

 

Kentucky Horse Racing Authority: Thoroughbred Racing

                810 KAR 1:028. Disciplinary measurements and penalties. Lisa Underwood, deputy commissioner and general counsel, represented the authority.

                In response to a question by Senator Pendleton, Ms. Underwood stated that the amendments to this administrative regulation provided more guidance to the authority and to the stewards in assessing penalties for violations.

                Senator Pendleton stated that he appreciated the authority's forthrightness with the subcommittee and their continuing progress in developing threshold levels and withdrawal guidelines for equine medications.

                Representative Lee stated that he opposed this administrative regulation because it did not contain threshold levels for all fifty of the most commonly used equine medications.  Enforcement of this administrative regulation as currently drafted would be unfair and legally questionable.

                Representative Bruce thanked the authority's vice chair Connie Whitfield for her work on the amendments to this administrative regulation.

                A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend Section 1 to clarify that the term "drug" as used when defining drugs by class also included "medications or substances"; (2) to amend Section 2 to: (a) clarify that alleged violations of Title 810 shall be adjudicated in accordance with 810 KAR 1:029 and KRS Chapter 13B; (b) require license suspensions or revocations to be calculated in racing days only; and (c) insert standards for when a horse may be required to be housed prior to race time; (3) to rewrite Sections 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 to: (a) insert the new requirement that fines, if agreed to by the alleged violator and the Authority, may be assessed in mitigation of a license suspension or revocation for certain violations of 810 KAR 1:018 and other sections of Title 810, and delete language allowing the Authority and the stewards to assess fines without the agreement of the alleged violator; and (b) insert language requiring penalties to be assessed in keeping with the seriousness of the violation and the facts of the case; (4) to amend Section 11 to incorporate by reference the KHRA Withdrawal Guidelines and threshold levels for certain medications; and (5) to amend the NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY paragraph and Sections 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 11 to comply with the drafting and format requirements of KRS Chapter 13A. With agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved, with Representative Lee voting not to approve.
