"FRANKFORT, Ky.
In a stinging rebuke of the Democratic governors response to COVID-19, Republican lawmakers on Saturday gave final passage to bills limiting his emergency powers to impose restrictions meant to contain the coronavirus.
After months of fuming from the sidelines as Beshear restricted some business activities, GOP lawmakers completed fast-track work on measures reining in his emergency authority. The bills taken up in a rare weekend session now head to Beshear, but the GOP has the numbers to override any vetoes.
Republicans said the measures will counter Beshears overreach in combating the pandemic."
