Legislative bill overview

SR 265 is a resolution confirming the reappointment of Madison Silvert to the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE). This is a confirmation vote on a gubernatorial appointment to a state board that oversees higher education policy and funding in Kentucky.

  • Partisan or stakeholder considerations: No information is publicly available regarding whether this appointment reflects particular policy priorities or represents specific higher education constituencies
