FGA praises the passage and veto override of the REINS Act, championed by Rep. Wade Williams and Sen. Matt Nunn
NAPLES, FL—The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) commends State Rep. Wade Williams and Sen. Matt Nunn for their leadership in advancing critical transparency and accountability reforms in Kentucky through the REINS Act. This proactive legislation ensures that Kentuckians receive the representation they deserve.
Despite the Governor’s veto, Kentucky lawmakers knew just how important this reform was—they overrode the veto with a decisive 80-20 vote in the House and 31-7 vote in the Senate, securing a major victory for government accountability. Kentucky joins 11 other states in a national movement to rein in administrative overreach and return lawmaking authority to the people’s elected representatives.
“Kentuckians deserve a government that works for them, not around them. This bill is a major step forward in restoring the balance of power and ensuring that unelected bureaucrats aren’t the ones calling the shots for Kentucky families,” said Emma Garelick, State Affairs Director at FGA. “Through the leadership of Rep. Williams and Sen. Nunn, Kentucky is taking an important step forward for greater accountability and lower costs for families.”
