A Kentucky House panel on Thursday, March 2, unanimously approved Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes’ measure to help veterans start and grow businesses in Kentucky. Grimes appeared before the House State Government Committee to discuss her initiative. Grimes said she is committed to fighting for veterans and the “Boots to Business” initiative is a way to help veterans begin writing new chapters in their lives. House Bill 114 would waive initial registration fees for new veteran-owned entities and waive annual report filing fees for the first four years those businesses operate.
