HR 5 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

A RESOLUTION honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This is a symbolic resolution (HR 5), not a policy bill. It formally honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and legacy through a chamber resolution. The resolution urges all Kentuckians to "recommit themselves to the lessons Dr. King preached" about "kindness, peace, and equality" (Section 1), and directs the House to adjourn "in honor and loving memory" of Dr. King (Section 2). It directly affects Kentuckians by calling on them to reflect on his teachings, but contains no new laws or government actions. The resolution was adopted by voice vote on January 20, 2026.
