A RESOLUTION adjourning the Senate in honor and loving memory of Norma June Evans.
Summary
SR77 is a simple commemorative Senate resolution honoring the life and memory of Norma June Evans of McCracken County, Kentucky. The resolution recites biographical details about her birth, education, career as a speech therapist and educator, creative interests, family life, and her passing on January 16, 2026.
The operative provisions express the Senate’s sympathy to her family, direct that the Senate adjourn in her honor and loving memory, and require the Senate Clerk to transmit a copy of the resolution to Senator Danny Carroll for delivery to the family. The measure does not create, amend, or repeal any substantive law; it is a ceremonial resolution with no regulatory or fiscal effect on state statutes or public programs.
Impact
SR77 has no direct impact on Kentucky statutes, regulations, or state agencies. Its legal effect is limited to the Senate’s formal expression of condolence and the adjournment of the chamber in honor of Norma June Evans, along with a directive to send the resolution to her family through Senator Danny Carroll.
Sentiment
The sentiment around SR77 is uniformly respectful and sympathetic. The resolution was adopted by voice vote, indicating broad, noncontroversial support and no recorded opposition. The tone of the bill is memorial and celebratory, emphasizing Evans’s service, family, and personal qualities.
Contention
There is no notable policy contention in SR77 because it is a memorial resolution rather than substantive legislation. The only potentially relevant point is procedural: the Senate chose to adjourn in her honor and formally transmit the resolution to the family, but no disagreement or debate is reflected in the available record.
