Supreme Court Updates COVID-19 Safety Protocols
Two orders issued by the Kentucky Supreme Court on August 9 set forth additional guidance as the state experiences an outbreak of the COVID-19 Delta variant.
Ky Supreme Court Order 2021-27 strongly encourages all individuals entering court facilities to wear facial coverings (a previous order eliminated mask requirements for fully-vaccinated individuals). The order also authorizes a chief circuit judge, in consultation with the chief district judge and circuit court clerk, to mandate facial coverings within judicial facilities.
Ky Supreme Court Order 2021-28 deletes language from a prior order regarding grand juries, show cause dockets and an expired eviction moratorium. The orders are in line with the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control.
Mask Mandates Updated for Jefferson County Courthouses
Effective July 30, all persons must wear a face covering at all times inside either the Hall of Justice or the Judicial Center, regardless of vaccination status. Details about the order can be found
here.
Family Court Term Clarifies Remote Appearances
On behalf of the Jefferson Family Court Term, program coordinator Kelly Williamson recently announced guidelines for remote court appearances. With the re-opening of court facilities, all appearances are once again in person; however, judges are encouraged to continue hearing both civil and criminal matters using available telephonic and video technology to conduct proceedings remotely upon request of parties. Any remote proceedings must be approved and scheduled through the judge’s office. Parties may request a remote appearance for motion hour, non-evidentiary case management conferences and reviews, and any other hearing by agreement of the parties.

Families in Transition Requirement to be Reinstated
Per a recent Order, effective July 1, 2021, Jefferson Family Court will once again require all new dissolution filings to mandate that parents with minor children attend the Families in Transition (FIT) program. The Standing Order requiring such attendance, which was waived during the pandemic, will be reinstated as of that date.
Most State Court COVID-19 Restrictions Lifted
Among other things, Administrative Order 2021-16 allows in-person access to judicial facilities for anyone with business before the courts (except individuals who have symptoms of, have tested positive for, or been exposed to COVID-19) and eliminates the mask requirement for fully-vaccinated individuals entering court facilities. While encouraging the continued use of remote technology, it allows judges to conduct in-person proceedings but also permits them to require individuals to wear masks in their courtrooms.
Similarly, Administrative Order 2021-17 lifts most restrictions on jury trials but requires continuances, postponements and recusals for attorneys, parties and jurors who are ill or at an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Notably, it continues the suspension of night traffic courts in Jefferson County until further notice.
Guidelines for Red Zone Monitoring by County
The Supreme Court guidelines encourage court officials to check their county’s COVID status on a weekly basis on the Coronavirus Monitoring Map. If their county falls into a COVID “red zone,” the following recommendations apply:
Court Proceedings should be conducted remotely.
Jury Trials should be postponed until the county returns to the yellow zone.
Offices of Circuit Court Clerk should close their offices to in-person services. All filings should be mailed, eFiled or conventionally filed using a drop box provided outside the judicial facility. All payments for court costs, fines, fees and restitution should be made by money order mailed to the Office of Circuit Court Clerk or by cash or credit card by calling the office.
Access to Court Facilities should be limited to attorneys and parties required to attend emergency, in-person hearings and individuals seeking emergency protective orders, interpersonal protective orders and emergency custody orders.
Masks and Social Distancing while in court facilities should be strictly enforced.
Teleworking. All court employees can telework should be encouraged to do so.
New Rules for Jefferson District Court Proceedings Effective January 1
An Amended General Order sets forth new rules and protocols for all proceedings in Jefferson District Court effective January 1, 2021. With limited exceptions, all criminal and civil matters will be heard remotely, via telephone or videoconferencing, until further order.
In criminal cases, the order spells out arraignment and post-arraignment protocols for both in-custody and out-of-custody defendants as well as how arrest warrants, pro se docket requests, show cause dates and continuances will be handled. In civil cases, the order spells out how matters related to evictions, small claims, mental inquest warrants/guardianship, juvenile, probate and interpersonal protective orders will be handled./
Updates to any of these protocols will be posted on www.JeffersonDistrictCourt.com.
Supreme Court Restricts Court Operations Due to Escalating COVID Cases
The Kentucky Supreme Court has issued new mandates to govern court operations as nearly all 120 Kentucky counties are now in the COVID-19 red zone. To address the surging cases, the Supreme Court amended two prior orders to again limit in-person proceedings and restrict access to judicial facilities among other safety measures. See Administrative Order 2020-71 (which replaces Administrative Order 2020-63 in its entirety) and Administrative Order 2020-72 (which replaces Administrative Order 2020-64 in its entirety) for specifics, including the postponement of all jury trials until at least February 1, 2021.
Supreme Court Issues Guidlines for COVID Precautions in Red Zones
The Supreme Court of Kentucky issued new guidelines to the state court system as COVID-19 cases continue to surge. The Judicial Branch’s current health and safety guidelines and procedures for certain court proceedings can be found in Supreme Court Administrative Orders 2020-63 and 2020-64.
Supreme Court Announces Amended Orders Related to In-Person Testimony and Evictions
On August 28, the Supreme Court entered two amended administrative orders related to in-person testimony and evictions. Highlights of those orders are below.
In-Person Testimony
Administrative Order 2020-63 amends Administrative Order 2020-55, Health and Safety Requirements. The amendment clarifies that a judge may, in his or her discretion, allow a party, attorney or witness to temporarily remove his or her facial covering if it is necessary to create a clear record and if sufficient social distancing can be maintained while the facial covering is removed. This change was in response to questions from several judges who expressed concerns about muffled testimony as they prepared to conduct jury trials.
Evictions
Administrative Order 2020-64 amends Administrative Order 2020-56, Expansion of Court Services. The amendment converts the eviction proceeding set by the summons into an initial hearing and inserts a 14-day pause before the trial can be set to allow landlords and tenants sufficient time to access available rental assistance through the Healthy at Home Eviction Prevention Fund. The fund will be accessible by landlords and tenants as soon as the landlord sends the tenant the notice to vacate, which should reduce the number of eviction cases that are filed. The 14-day pause provided in this order is intended to benefit the landlords and tenants who were unaware of or could not access the Healthy at Home Eviction Prevention Fund before appearing in court for the eviction proceeding.
Supreme Court Provides Updates on how Courts will Expand Services

Kentucky Courts to Expand Proceedings on June 1
In Administrative Order 2020-39 dated May 15, the Kentucky Supreme Court set forth guidelines under which courts across the Commonwealth will expand matters to be heard beginning June 1. The order directs judges to resume hearing all criminal and civil matters using available telephonic and video technology unless in their discretion they determine that a proceeding requires in-person attendance. This marks a significant change as previous Supreme Court orders had limited dockets mostly to certain emergency and time-sensitive matters through May 31.
The new order specifies health and safety precautions that must be followed for any in-person proceedings including:
-
Limiting courtroom attendance to attorneys, parties, witnesses and other necessary persons not to exceed 33 percent of a courtroom’s occupancy capacity
-
Permitting persons in certain high risk categories to participate remotely
-
Maintaining appropriate social distancing
-
Providing the public and media access to non-confidential proceedings by live audio/video or digital recording
-
Scheduling proceedings so as to reduce the number of persons entering, exiting or gathering at the same time
-
Cleaning and disinfecting microphones, tables, and other exposed surfaces after each proceeding or use
The order carries forward provisions from prior orders restricting in-person services and requiring all filings to be mailed, eFiled or filed conventionally using outside drop boxes.
The order also directs that onsite court personnel be limited to those whose physical presence is necessary for the performance of their duties and not exceeding 50 percent of ordinary staffing levels unless approved by the AOC’s Director of Human Resources. The order further requires that court officials and staff wear facial coverings when interacting in common areas although judges will not have to wear them while conducting court proceedings if doing so would impede their ability to make a clear record and no one is within a 10-foot radius.
Finally, the order encourages chief district and circuit judges to develop plans and rules regarding any additional restrictions or changes in local procedures consistent with the order. It remains in force until further order of the Supreme Court.
Jefferson Family Court Emergency Protocols Beginning June 1, 2020
In compliance with the most recent Supreme Court's Amended Order issued in response to the COVID-19 emergency, Jefferson County Family Court will implement the following protocols effective June 1, 2020. These protocols temporarily amend any local Jefferson County Family Court Rule of Practice.

Administrative Order 2020-27, dated April 23, 2020, replaces in its entirety Administrative Order 2020-25, dated April 14, 2020.
New Court of Appeals Protocol for Prehearing Conferences

Masks Required at Bar Center as Delta Variant Surges
Visitors to the Bar Center are asked to wear a facial covering amidst a local surge of the Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus. This new requirement applies to all visitors regardless of vaccination status.
The mask requirement, while temporary, is deemed necessary to protect the health of LBA staff and visitors and to limit community spread of the COVID-19 virus.

IRS Extends More Tax Deadlines
In a Notice dated April 9, the Internal Revenue Service extended key additional key tax deadlines for individuals and businesses. The IRS had previously announced that taxpayers generally have until July 15, 2020, to file and pay federal income taxes originally due on April 15. No late-filing penalty, late-payment penalty or interest will be due. This relief also applied to first quarter 2020 estimated tax payments due April 15, 2020.
The new notice expands this relief to additional returns, tax payments and other actions. As a result, the extensions generally now apply to all taxpayers that have a filing or payment deadline falling on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020. Individuals, trusts, estates, corporations and other non-corporate tax filers qualify for the extra time.
Besides the April 15 estimated tax payment previously extended, the notice also extends relief to estimated tax payments due June 15, 2020. This means that any individual or corporation that has a quarterly estimated tax payment due on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020, can wait until July 15 to make that payment, without penalty.
Administrative Deadlines, Statutory Timelines, and Statutes of Limitations Extended
The Kentucky General Assembly inserted a provision in the Judicial Branch budget bill (HB 356) that extends deadlines for administrative actions as well as statutory timelines and statutes of limitations for court filings and proceedings. The extension is effective for 30 days after the end of the state of emergency declared by the Governor or a judicial emergency declared by the Chief Justice, whichever is later. The provision reads as follows:
Public Health Emergency: For the duration of the Governor’s declaration of a State of Emergency in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Chief Justice of the Commonwealth is authorized to declare a Judicial Emergency to protect the health and safety of court employees, elected officials, and the general public. A Judicial Emergency shall extend any administrative actions deadlines, and statutory timelines and statutes of limitations for court filings and proceedings, including but not limited to KRS 446.030, 500.050, and Chapters 342, 376, 403, 413, 456, and 620. The extensions provided herein shall be effective until 30 days after the emergency order of the Chief Justice or the Governor ends, whichever is later. This provision shall apply both prospectively and retroactively.
New Law Aids Remote Law Practice
A provision in a COVID-19 relief bill recently passed by the Kentucky General Assembly specifies that individuals in different locations are deemed to be in each other’s physical presence for legal purposes as long as they can communicate in real time via video teleconference in the same manner as if they were together. This can prove beneficial to attorneys practicing remotely, e.g., those facilitating execution of documents like wills where witnesses are required to be present for the testator’s signing. The provision is effective immediately and can be found in section 11 (on page 9) of SB 150.
Message from the Jefferson County Public Law Library
