Hearing On Drug Bill Postponed

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...A bill sponsored by House Speaker Greg Stumbo, a Prestonsburg Democrat, to control prescription drug abuse in Kentucky may get a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday after it was removed from the committee's meeting agenda Thursday because the chairman, Republican Senator Tom Jensen of London, said he is trying to work out a compromise on the bill. Jensen said there are parts of the bill he needs to talk about with Stumbo. Senator Jensen said the issues include addressing some concerns of doctors.
