Bill Summary · SR 215

Summary — SR 215 (Senate Resolution)

Purpose

SR 215 is a Senate resolution that confirms the appointment of Jodi Wojcik to the Kentucky Board of Physicians and Advisors. The resolution formalizes the Senate’s approval of an appointment previously made by the Kentucky Board of Nursing under KRS 218B.020 and recognizes Ms. Wojcik as the Board member representing advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs).

Key provisions

  • Confirms the appointment of Jodi Wojcik to the Board of Physicians and Advisors.
  • Notes that the Kentucky Board of Nursing appointed Ms. Wojcik on June 15, 2023, to a term expiring June 15, 2027.
  • Directs the Clerk of the Senate to forward a copy of the adopted resolution and notification of its adoption to:
    • Jodi Wojcik (Anchorage, Jefferson County, Kentucky), and
    • Kentucky Board of Nursing, 312 Whittington Parkway, Suite 300, Louisville, KY 40222.

Who is affected

  • Jodi Wojcik: her appointment is formally confirmed, allowing her to serve on the Board of Physicians and Advisors in the seat designated for advanced practice registered nurses.
  • Kentucky Board of Physicians and Advisors: receives a confirmed member to participate in its statutory duties.
  • Kentucky Board of Nursing: is notified of the Senate’s action; the resolution references its prior appointment action.
  • Stakeholders in health regulation (physicians, APRNs, patients): indirectly affected insofar as board composition influences advisory functions and health policy recommendations.

Procedure and timeline

  • Appointment by Kentucky Board of Nursing: June 15, 2023 (term to June 15, 2027).
  • SR 215 introduced/received in the Senate: March 3, 2025.
  • Senate action: adopted (recorded as adopted 38–0). (Legislative records indicate read and adopted actions in March 2025 and enrollment reporting; the Clerk is directed to provide copies following adoption.)

Impact

  • Administrative/operational: Procedural—confirms an already-made appointment so the appointee may serve without further delay. No new regulatory authority or expenditure is created by the resolution itself.
  • Policy: Ensures APRN representation on the Board of Physicians and Advisors as required by statute (KRS 218B.020), preserving statutory stakeholder balance in advisory deliberations affecting health policy and practice in Kentucky.
