SR 15 Kentucky Senate · 2026 Regular Session

A RESOLUTION adjourning the Senate in honor and loving memory of Joyce Laverne Johnson.

This is a ceremonial memorial resolution (SR 15), not a substantive bill. It directs the Kentucky Senate to adjourn in honor of Joyce Laverne Johnson, a Lexington community historian, genealogist, and advocate for diversity who passed away on December 19, 2025. The resolution expresses the Senate's sympathy for her passing and requests the Clerk transmit a copy to her family. It has no policy impact or mechanisms - it is purely a formal tribute.
