Bill Summary · SR 218

Summary — SR 218 (Kentucky Senate Resolution)

Purpose

SR 218 is a Senate resolution that confirms the reappointment of Kevin Wayne Weaver to the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE). The reappointment was made by Governor Andy Beshear by Executive Order 2024-306 and is for a term expiring December 31, 2029. Under Kentucky law (KRS 164.011), such gubernatorial reappointments to the CPE are subject to Senate confirmation; SR 218 carries out that confirmation.

Key provisions / text highlights

  • Confirms the reappointment of Kevin Wayne Weaver to the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education.
  • Recites that the reappointment was made April 29, 2024, pursuant to Executive Order 2024-306 and that Weaver meets the statutory requirements of KRS 164.011.
  • Directs the Clerk of the Senate to forward a copy of the resolution and notice of its adoption to:
    • Kevin Wayne Weaver (Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky), and
    • Governor Andy Beshear (State Capitol, Room 100, Frankfort, KY 40601).
