Note on inconsistent materials in the docket: The package of documents provided contains multiple, conflicting text versions and metadata from different jurisdictions (Kentucky, Georgia, Illinois, and drafts with other titles). This summary focuses on the bill text identified as the Current/Final version in the record (the operative resolution adopted by the Senate). Where relevant, I note other versions and the inconsistency.

Main purpose

The adopted SR 197 confirms the gubernatorial appointment of Lisa Haydon to the Kentucky Personnel Board pursuant to KRS 18A.050 and Executive Order 2024-336.

Key provisions

  • Confirms the appointment of Lisa Haydon to the Personnel Board.
  • Notes that Lisa Haydon was appointed by Governor Andy Beshear on May 15, 2024 to replace Marc Farris.
  • States the term of appointment expires January 1, 2028.
  • Directs the Clerk of the Senate to forward a copy of the resolution and notice of its adoption to Lisa Haydon (Springfield, Washington County, KY) and to Governor Andy Beshear (State Capitol, Room 100, Frankfort, KY 40601).

Legal/administrative basis

  • The appointment and confirmation are made in accordance with KRS 18A.050 (the Kentucky statute governing Personnel Board appointments) and Executive Order 2024-336.

Who is affected

  • Lisa Haydon — her appointment to the Kentucky Personnel Board is confirmed.
  • Kentucky Personnel Board — membership updated (replacing Marc Farris) through January 1, 2028.
  • Governor Andy Beshear’s office and the Senate Clerk for notification actions.

Procedural timeline and actions (selected)

  • 2025-02-17: Introduced (Senate Hopper / Read by title).
  • 2025-03 to 2025-04: Referred to committee(s); committee reports and recommendation of adoption as amended (SD1).

  • 2025-06-12: Read by title and adopted.

Impact and significance

  • This is a non‑statutory, internal Senate resolution that effects an administrative confirmation of a gubernatorial appointment. It does not create new law, appropriate funds, or change substantive state policy.
  • Once confirmed, Lisa Haydon may participate in Personnel Board duties for the remainder of the stated term (through Jan 1, 2028), affecting board quorum, votes, and proceedings.
  • No fiscal impact is identified in the resolution text.

Important caveat

The materials provided also include unrelated draft texts (e.g., a resolution recognizing "Muslim Appreciation Day" and a memorial resolution) and a mismatching title referencing a "Baton Rouge SWOT Analysis Study Commission." Those appear to be extraneous or earlier/alternate drafts from different jurisdictions. For an authoritative, final text and jurisdiction, consult the enrolled resolution on the official legislative website or the Secretary of State’s office.
