A RESOLUTION confirming the appointment of Jeremy Winton as a member of the Kentucky Film Leadership Council.
Summary
SR222 is a Senate resolution confirming the appointment of Jeremy Winton of Louisville to the Kentucky Film Leadership Council. The resolution states that Governor Andy Beshear appointed Winton on July 1, 2025, under Executive Order 2025-386 and KRS 154.12-282, and that his appointment is subject to Senate confirmation. It also notes that Winton meets the statutory requirement to represent film production companies on the council.
The measure does not create new policy or change substantive law; instead, it completes the confirmation process for a single gubernatorial appointment to an existing advisory or leadership body. Its practical effect is to authorize Winton to serve on the Kentucky Film Leadership Council for the remainder of the stated term, expiring June 30, 2026, and to formally recognize the Senate’s approval of that appointment.
Impact
SR222 affects the membership of the Kentucky Film Leadership Council by confirming one appointee under KRS 154.12-282. It does not amend the statute, appropriate funds, or alter regulatory authority; rather, it validates the governor’s appointment and allows the council to operate with its full confirmed membership, including a representative from film production companies.
Sentiment
The bill appears to have been noncontroversial and broadly supported. It passed the Senate 38-0, with the recorded third-reading vote showing no opposition, suggesting consensus around the appointment and the council’s composition. No committee debate or dissenting remarks are included in the available record.
Contention
There is no notable contention reflected in the available materials. The only substantive point addressed in the resolution is whether Jeremy Winton satisfies the statutory requirement to represent film production companies, and the resolution states that he does. Because there are no committee transcripts or recorded objections, no opposing arguments or disputed issues are evident.
