FRANKFORT, Ky. -- A proposed constitutional amendment on medical malpractice was passed by the Kentucky Senate. The vote was 23 to 14 with one abstention. The legislation now goes to the House. It will go on the ballot in November if the House passes it, too. The amendment asks voters to give the General Assembly the authority to enact caps on damages and impose other restrictions in malpractice cases.
