A RESOLUTION confirming the appointment of Michelle Snodgrass-Deimling to the Personnel Board.
Summary
SR192 is a simple confirmation resolution. It confirms the appointment of Michelle Snodgrass-Deimling to the Kentucky Personnel Board, as made by Governor Andy Beshear on February 5, 2025, under KRS 18A.050 and Executive Order 2025-060. The resolution states that the appointment is for a term ending January 1, 2028, and that the appointee meets the statutory qualifications for the position.
The measure does not create new policy, change agency powers, or amend the Kentucky Revised Statutes. Its legal effect is limited to Senate approval of a gubernatorial appointment to the Personnel Board, which is the state body involved in personnel and merit-system matters for state employment. The resolution also directs the Senate Clerk to notify the appointee and the Governor of the confirmation.
Impact
SR192 affects only the composition of the Kentucky Personnel Board by formally confirming one member’s appointment. It does not alter substantive state law, but it completes the statutory confirmation process required for the appointee to serve. The practical impact is on state personnel governance and oversight, since the Personnel Board plays a role in administering employment-related rules and disputes within state government.
Sentiment
The available voting history suggests broad, uncontroversial support for the resolution. The Senate passed the measure on third reading by a 38-0 vote, and there is no committee transcript indicating opposition or debate. The absence of recorded dissent suggests the appointment was viewed as routine and noncontroversial.
Contention
There is no notable substantive contention reflected in the bill text, voting record, or available discussion. Because the resolution concerns a single appointment rather than a policy change, any disagreement would likely have centered only on the nominee’s qualifications or the Governor’s selection authority, but no such objections appear in the provided materials. The unanimous vote indicates no visible opposition among senators.
