signed by Governor (Acts Ch. 64)
Summary
The bill creates a prison education program at Northpoint Training Center, run by the Department of Corrections in partnership with the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. It limits participation to eligible inmates, sets up joint responsibilities for instruction, security and support, and adds a new certificate of employability that can be used for public‑sector hiring and licensing. The changes also protect former inmates from being barred from public jobs or licenses solely because of past convictions.
