| Description | Louisville became the first city in Kentucky to pass the fairness ordinance on January 26th, 1999. Lexington would soon follow that same year. Cities and counties began following Lexington and Louisville by passing fairness ordinances which accumulated over the next 22 years to cover over a quarter of the state's population before the KCHR's statewide prohibition. Fairness ordinances are still being passed to this day. |
