House recognizes January 2026 as Kentucky Mentorship Month (resolution introduced)

A member identified in the transcript as 'Gentleman from Davis' asked the clerk to call House Resolution 19 by title Friday, Jan. 16, and spoke at length about mentorship, noting that "since 2002, Americans have recognized and honored mentors in the month of January." The presenter cited mentorship organizations and recounted personal mentors and the importance of adults investing time in young people.

House Resolution 19, as read by the clerk, recognizes January 2026 as Kentucky Mentorship Month and calls attention to organizations and individuals that provide mentoring services around the state. The presenter moved adoption; the transcript records an objection and the chair's response that 'That objection is so ordered.' The transcript does not record a roll-call vote on adoption.

The resolution is ceremonial in nature and aims to highlight mentoring organizations and volunteers; any formal implementation, funding, or programmatic changes were not included in the clerk's reading or the floor remarks.
