A RESOLUTION commemorating the 80th Southern Legislative Conference of the Council of State Governments Southern Office.

This resolution (SR 114) commemorates the 80th Southern Legislative Conference hosted by the Council of State Governments (CSG) South in Lexington, Kentucky, July 11-15, 2026. It formally recognizes CSG South’s role as a nonpartisan organization connecting legislators from 15 Southern states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia). The resolution does not create new laws or affect specific policies; it is a ceremonial expression of support for the conference, which brings together over 1,500 Southern legislators and staff to discuss regional policy issues. As a procedural resolution, it has no direct legislative impact beyond honoring the event.
