A RESOLUTION recognizing and honoring the Legislative Research Commission interns for the 2026 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly.
Summary
SR301 is a simple recognition resolution honoring the Legislative Research Commission (LRC) interns serving during the 2026 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly. It describes the LRC Intern Program as a competitive opportunity for postsecondary students to learn about legislative and public policy processes while working in the Capitol, attending seminars, hearing from guest speakers, and assisting nonpartisan staff with committee and office tasks.
The resolution specifically names the 2026 intern cohort and commends them for their service, skill, and dedication. It also extends best wishes for their future success and directs the Senate Clerk to transmit a copy of the resolution to Senator David Givens for delivery. The measure does not create new programs, funding, or regulatory changes; it is purely ceremonial and honorary in nature.
Impact
SR301 has no substantive effect on Kentucky statutes, agency authority, or public policy. Its legal impact is limited to an official Senate expression of appreciation for the LRC interns and a directive for transmittal of the resolution. The only affected parties are the named interns, the Legislative Research Commission, and the Senate as an institution, with the resolution serving as a formal commendation rather than a policy change.
Sentiment
The sentiment around SR301 is uniformly positive and supportive. The resolution itself uses highly complimentary language, emphasizing the interns’ merit, dedication, and contributions to the legislature. The bill’s adoption by voice vote indicates broad, noncontroversial approval and no recorded opposition in the available history.
Contention
There is no notable policy contention in the available record. Because SR301 is a ceremonial recognition resolution, it does not appear to have generated debate over funding, program administration, or legislative priorities. The only identifiable focus is praise for the intern program and the students selected to participate, with no opposing viewpoints reflected in the text, votes, or committee materials provided.
