Bill Summary · SR 113

Legislative bill overview

Senate Resolution 113 is a confirmation resolution that formally approves the appointment of Matthew Scott "Scottie" Collier to the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) in Kentucky. The EPSB is a regulatory body responsible for setting standards and policies for educator certification and professional conduct in the state. The resolution passed unanimously in the Senate on March 27, 2025.

Why is this important

The EPSB sets teacher certification requirements, disciplinary standards, and professional conduct rules that affect every educator and school in Kentucky. Board appointments influence education policy decisions that impact students, teachers, and school districts statewide. Confirming qualified appointees ensures the board has experienced leadership to maintain educational standards.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of public information: The resolution provides no details about Collier's background, qualifications, or professional experience, making it difficult for constituents to evaluate the appointment's merit.
  • Consent calendar passage: The unanimous 38-0 adoption via consent orders suggests minimal Senate debate or scrutiny, which some may view as insufficient oversight for an important regulatory position.
  • Limited transparency: No committee hearing record or detailed discussion of why Collier was selected or what he brings to the role is publicly available in this summary.
