Summary — SR 220 (2025): Confirmation of Courtney French Bourne to the Governor's Postsecondary Education Nominating Committee

Purpose and intent

SR 220 is a Senate resolution that confirms the reappointment of Courtney French Bourne to the Governor's Postsecondary Education Nominating Committee. The resolution effectuates the Senate’s constitutional/statutory role in confirming gubernatorial reappointments made under KRS 164.005 and Executive Order 2024‑423.

Key provisions

  • Confirms the reappointment of Courtney French Bourne (of Owenton, Owen County) to the Governor's Postsecondary Education Nominating Committee.
  • Records that Bourne was reappointed by Governor Andy Beshear on June 13, 2024 under Executive Order 2024‑423, for a term expiring April 14, 2030.
  • States that Bourne meets the requirements of KRS 164.005.
  • Directs the Clerk of the Senate to forward a copy of the adopted resolution and notification of its adoption to Courtney French Bourne and to Governor Andy Beshear (State Capitol, Room 100, Frankfort, KY 40601).

Who is affected

  • Courtney French Bourne: confirmation permits her to serve on the Governor's Postsecondary Education Nominating Committee through the stated term (expires April 14, 2030).
  • The Governor's Postsecondary Education Nominating Committee: retains an authorized member to perform its statutory duties.
  • Governor’s office and other state higher‑education stakeholders may be indirectly affected because committee membership supports the committee’s ability to nominate candidates for postsecondary education appointments as provided under KRS 164.005.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • Introduced/received in the Senate in March 2025.
  • Posted for passage and adopted by the Senate (vote recorded as 38–0). Legislative entries show adoption on March 28, 2025, with subsequent reads and enrollment actions through March–April 2025.
  • Filed with the Secretary and co‑sponsored by all Senators on April 9, 2025.
  • Sponsors listed: Senators Billy Hickman, Nan Orrock, and John F. Curran.

Classification and effect

  • This is a confirmation resolution (not a statute creating new law). Its practical effect is to complete the statutory confirmation process so that the reappointed individual may legally occupy the committee position and participate in its duties through the term date specified.
