A RESOLUTION confirming the reappointment of Mike S. Stacy to the Standards and Assessments Process Review Committee.
Summary
SR209 is a simple confirmation resolution. It approves the reappointment of Mike S. Stacy to the Standards and Assessments Process Review Committee, a body created under KRS 158.6453 to review standards and assessments matters related to Kentucky education policy. The resolution states that Stacy was reappointed by Governor Andy Beshear on October 9, 2024, for a term ending May 27, 2028, and that he meets the statutory requirements for the seat representing school superintendents.
The resolution does not create new law or change the committee’s duties; it only provides the Senate’s formal confirmation required for the appointment to take effect. Its practical effect is to maintain the committee’s membership and ensure continued representation from school superintendents in the review process for education standards and assessments.
Impact
SR209 has a limited, administrative impact on Kentucky law. It does not amend statutes, appropriate funds, or alter education policy directly; instead, it exercises the Senate’s confirmation role under KRS 158.6453 for a gubernatorial appointee to a statutory committee. The main effect is to validate Mike S. Stacy’s continued service on the Standards and Assessments Process Review Committee through May 27, 2028, preserving the committee’s composition and its advisory/review function within the state’s education governance structure.
Sentiment
The available voting history suggests broad, noncontroversial support for the resolution. The Senate passed the measure 38-0 on third reading, indicating unanimous approval among those voting. No committee transcript or debate excerpts were provided, and the bill text itself is routine and procedural, which is consistent with the lack of recorded opposition.
Contention
There is no specific contention reflected in the provided materials. Because SR209 is a confirmation resolution for a single reappointment, any potential disagreement would likely relate only to the suitability of the appointee or the broader composition of the Standards and Assessments Process Review Committee. However, no objections, amendments, or debate points are included, and the unanimous vote indicates no visible controversy in the Senate record provided.
