Operative words
KRS 39A.090... (2)(a) Executive orders, administrative regulations, or other directives issued under this chapter by the Governor shall be in effect no longer than thirty (30) days unless an extension, modification, or termination is approved by the General Assembly prior to the extension of any executive order or directive that: 1. Places restrictions on the in-person meeting or places restrictions on the functioning of the following: a. Elementary, secondary, or postsecondary educational institutions; b. Private businesses or nonprofit organizations; c. Political, religious, or social gatherings; d. Places of worship; or e. Local governments; or 2. Imposes mandatory quarantine or isolation requirements.... KRS 39A.100... (5) Nothing in this section shall be construed to allow any governmental entity to impose restrictions on the right of the people to: (a) Peaceably assemble; or (b) Worship, worship in person
Enforcement
Statute; the reason HJR 77 and HJR 1 were required and the reason every un-extended order lapsed
Notes
The 30-day clock is the mechanism by which EO 2021-585 (Aug. 10, 2021) would have expired Sept. 9, 2021 absent HJR 1's earlier termination
