KY Supreme Court says Gov. Beshear’s executive orders are constitutional

After months of contentious debate surrounding Governor Andy Beshear’s covid-19 executive orders, Kentucky’s high court has announced their decision. The Kentucky Supreme Court released a unanimous decision Thursday, reversing the position of the lower court and upholding the legality of the Governor’s orders. The orders, including the mask mandate as well as limits on capacity, will remain in effect for the time being. The court says the Governor acted within his constitutional powers with the orders with the exception of one, which had already been withdrawn by the administration.
