The Kentucky Legislative Review of Executive Regulations Amendment did not qualify for the November 8, 2016 ballot in Kentucky as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The measure, upon voter approval, would have empowered the Kentucky General Assembly to review, approve or disapprove any administrative regulation of an officer or agency of the executive department.
