Senate Bill 157 would ask the state Supreme Court to establish a pilot project to allow participating courts to make specified juvenile proceedings open to the public. Those hearings are now routinely closed. Sen. Whitney Westerfield (R-Hopkinsville) noted safeguards built into SB 157, including a provision to prohibit the project in jurisdictions where the local judge or county attorney objects. He spoke on the Senate floor on March 10, 2014. For more information, visit http://www.ket.org/legislature/posts/1757/
