A RESOLUTION adjourning the Senate in honor and loving memory of Charles "Charlie" Ray Edmonds.
Summary
SR133 is a Senate resolution honoring the life and memory of Charles "Charlie" Ray Edmonds of Kentucky. The resolution recounts his birth in Burna in 1938, his family life with his wife Wilma, his work as a bread deliveryman and later as a local restaurateur and business owner, and his long service on the Benton City Council. It also notes his church involvement, hobbies, and the family members who survive him.
The resolution formally expresses the Senate’s sympathy to Edmonds’s family and community and states that the Senate will adjourn in his honor and loving memory. It also directs the Senate Clerk to send a copy of the resolution to Senator Danny Carroll for delivery to the family. As a memorial resolution, it does not amend or create any state law or alter statutory duties; its effect is ceremonial and commemorative only.
Impact
SR133 has no substantive legal impact on Kentucky statutes, regulations, or agency authority. It is a ceremonial Senate resolution that records the chamber’s condolences, honors a deceased community leader, and directs transmittal of the resolution to the family through Senator Danny Carroll. Its practical effect is limited to official recognition by the Senate and the adjournment in Edmonds’s memory.
Sentiment
The sentiment surrounding SR133 is uniformly respectful and sympathetic. The bill was adopted by voice vote, indicating broad, noncontroversial support. The resolution’s language emphasizes admiration for Edmonds’s work ethic, faith, family devotion, business leadership, and public service, reflecting a positive and commemorative tone rather than any policy debate.
Contention
There is no apparent contention in the available record. No committee transcripts, recorded votes, or amendments suggest disagreement, and the resolution passed by voice vote. Because the measure is a memorial resolution, the only substantive discussion is the tribute itself, with no opposing viewpoints or policy disputes identified.
