Bill Summary · SR 213

Legislative bill overview

SR 213 is a resolution confirming the appointment of Jai Y. Bokey to the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE). This is a confirmation resolution, meaning the Senate must vote to approve this gubernatorial appointment. The CPE is the state agency responsible for coordinating Kentucky's higher education system and policy.

Why is this important

The CPE makes consequential decisions affecting college accessibility, affordability, and workforce development across Kentucky's universities and colleges. Confirming qualified board members ensures the council has appropriate oversight and strategic direction for the state's postsecondary education system, which impacts millions of students and the state economy.
