Kentucky Auditor Allison Ball issued subpoenas to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services on Friday seeking information regarding an unfunded law that was passed to help kinship care families in 2024.
This came four days after Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate dismissed Ball’s lawsuit that sought to make the cabinet implement Senate Bill 151 and cooperate with a related investigation. The law has been in limbo due to a $20 million funding dispute between the legislative and executive branches of government.
