Summary — SR 268 (2025): Reinstating fried bologna sandwiches at the Capitol Annex Snack Bar

Purpose

SR 268 is a non‑binding Senate resolution urging the executive branch of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to reinstate the authority of the Capitol Annex Snack Bar to prepare and serve fried bologna sandwiches. The resolution frames the request as restoring a long‑standing, simple comfort food service for occupants and visitors of the Capitol Annex.

Key provisions

  • Section 1: The Senate "urges the executive branch" to reverse its prohibition and restore the Annex Snack Bar’s ability to prepare and serve fried bologna sandwiches.
  • Section 2: Directs the Clerk of the Senate to transmit a copy of the resolution to Governor Andy Beshear (State Capitol, Room 100, Frankfort, KY 40601).

There are no regulatory changes, funding provisions, or mandates to implement new rules—the text is an expression of the Senate’s position and a formal request to the Governor.

Who is affected

  • Directly referenced: the Capitol Annex Snack Bar (its permitted food preparation activities), occupants and visitors of the Capitol Annex who patronize the snack bar.
  • Indirectly: the executive branch and any agency or official responsible for food service permissions and compliance at state facilities.

Legal effect and limitations

  • SR 268 is a resolution and therefore non‑binding; it does not change statutes, regulations, or appropriations.
  • Implementation would require executive‑branch action (policy change or administrative directive) to reverse the existing prohibition.
  • No fiscal impact or enforcement provisions are contained in the resolution.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Introduced / received by Secretary: March 13, 2025.
  • Laid before the Senate; rules suspended; read and adopted; and reported enrolled: March 18, 2025 (per legislative actions).
  • Additional clerical entries show introduction/committee referrals and adoption by voice vote on later March dates and final filing on May 1, 2025, when it was recorded as co‑sponsored by all senators and placed on the Resolutions Consent Calendar.
  • Status: Adopted (by voice vote / recorded as adopted).

Sponsors

  • Primary sponsors listed: Donzella James and David Koehler.
  • Later entry (May 1, 2025) lists "Co‑Sponsor All Senators."

Context / potential impact

SR 268 serves as a formal appeal from the Kentucky Senate to the Governor to restore a specific food service practice at a state facility. Its practical effect depends entirely on executive‑branch willingness to rescind the prohibition and any underlying health, safety, or policy reasons for that prohibition.
