ORDER
Supreme Court "shall have the power to issue all writs necessary in aid of its
to that power to maintain the status quo by staying orders issued by the lower
health and safety, two circuit courts have issued injunctive relief preventing
injury to their respective business interests. It appears that one circuit court
has indicated an intent to issue an Order shortly that will enjoin all executive
orders entered by the Governor and any actions taken pursuant to his public
emergency powers. Given the need for a clear and consistent statewide public
health policy and recognizing that the Kentucky legislature has expressly given
the Governor broad executive powers in a public health emergency, the Court
orders a stay of all orders of injunctive relief until such time as the various
orders are properly before the Court with a full record of any evidence and
The Boone and Scott Circuit Courts may proceed with matters before
them and issue all findings of fact and conclusions of law they find appropriate
but no order, however characterized, shall be effective. Our stay shall continue
2
until the full record of proceedings below is reviewed by this Court, all parties
have been given the opportunity to address the orders in briefs, and this Court
This Court hereby directs that any lower court order, after entry, be
by the full Court pursuant to its constitutional authority under Section 110.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
