A RESOLUTION honoring the service of Thomas Kurtz during the 2026 Regular Session of the General Assembly.
Summary
SR302 is a simple Senate resolution honoring Thomas Kurtz for his service as a legislative intern during the 2026 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly. The resolution identifies Kurtz as a University of Louisville student, a member of the McConnell Scholars Program and Beta Theta Pi, and praises his intellect, curiosity, and contributions to the legislative process.
The resolution formally recognizes Kurtz’s work and directs the Senate Clerk to transmit a copy of the resolution to Senator Max Wise for presentation to him. It is a ceremonial measure only and does not create, amend, or repeal any state law or statutory provision.
Impact
SR302 has no direct legal or regulatory impact on Kentucky law or state statutes. Its effect is limited to official recognition by the Senate of an individual intern’s service, with the only administrative action being transmission of the adopted resolution to Senator Max Wise for delivery to Thomas Kurtz.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive and appreciative. The resolution was adopted by voice vote, indicating broad, noncontroversial support and no recorded opposition in the available materials. The language of the measure is complimentary and celebratory throughout.
Contention

Because SR302 is a ceremonial recognition resolution, it does not appear to have generated policy debate, committee controversy, or divided votes. Any discussion would likely have been limited to acknowledging Thomas Kurtz’s service and qualifications.
