Nick Houck was arrested June 4 and charged with perjury. He's the brother of Brooks Houck, the man convicted last year of murdering Crystal Rogers.
The legislation was sparked by the Crystal Rogers case after Brooks Houck and his family secretly recorded a grand jury.
Brooks Houck, one of three men convicted in the murder of Bardstown mother Crystal Rogers, has been transferred to a different prison in Kentucky.
Prosecutors pointed out Houck only called Rogers twice and texted once in the 36 hours after she disappeared.
The trial for one of three men charged in the 2015 murder of Crystal Rogers began Tuesday afternoon.
Steve Lawson was supposed to go to trial this month, but his attorneys asked for the date to be postponed to give them more time to go over the evidence in the nearly 10-year-old case.
Nelson County Circuit Court Judge Charles Simms lowered Joseph Lawson's bond to $250,000 while he awaits trial for his charges in the Crystal Rogers investigation.
