Mitch McConnell’s recent hospitalization has renewed scrutiny of what would happen if Kentucky’s longest-serving senator were unable to complete his term.

The legislation eliminated the governor’s ability to appoint a replacement senator and instead directed vacancies to be filled through a special election process.
