A RESOLUTION confirming the appointment of Misdee Wrigley Miller to the Kentucky Film Leadership Council.
Summary
SR221 is a Senate resolution confirming the appointment of Misdee Wrigley Miller to the Kentucky Film Leadership Council. The resolution states that Governor Andy Beshear appointed Miller on July 1, 2025, under KRS 154.12-282 and Executive Order 2025-386, for a term ending June 30, 2027, and that her appointment is subject to Senate confirmation. It also notes that she has been determined to meet the statutory requirement for representation of film production companies on the council.
The measure does not create a new program or change substantive policy; instead, it completes the confirmation process for a single gubernatorial appointment. By adopting the resolution, the Senate formally approves Miller’s service on the Kentucky Film Leadership Council and directs the clerk to notify both Miller and the governor. The resolution affects the composition of the council and the administration of Kentucky’s film industry advisory structure, but it does not amend the underlying statute.
Impact
SR221 has a limited but direct impact on state law by confirming one member’s appointment to a statutorily created advisory body under KRS 154.12-282. It leaves the existing legal framework unchanged while ensuring the Kentucky Film Leadership Council is properly constituted with a representative from film production companies. The practical effect is on the council’s membership and its ability to carry out duties related to Kentucky’s film industry development and oversight.
Sentiment
The available voting history shows strong support for the resolution, with the Senate adopting it 38-0 and a recorded third-reading vote of 37-0. There were no committee transcripts or recorded floor objections provided, suggesting the appointment was noncontroversial and broadly accepted. Overall sentiment appears positive and routine, consistent with a confirmation resolution rather than a policy dispute.
Contention
No notable contention is reflected in the provided materials. Because SR221 is a confirmation resolution for an individual appointment, any potential disagreement would likely have centered on the nominee’s qualifications or representation of the film production industry, but the record provided shows no opposition, debate, or dissent. The unanimous vote indicates that the Senate viewed the appointment as meeting the statutory requirements and suitable for confirmation.
