A RESOLUTION resolving the Senate as a Court of Impeachment and providing for the adoption of the Rules of Procedure therefor.

This resolution establishes the Kentucky Senate as a Court of Impeachment to hear charges against Circuit Judge Julie Muth Goodman, who was impeached by the House for alleged abuses of power and violations of court rules and statutes. The bill sets April 6, 2026, as the start date for the hearing and outlines procedures for summoning the respondent, witnesses, and evidence, while designating a Senate committee to receive testimony and make initial findings. It adopts specific rules of procedure that allow the Senate to compel witness attendance, enforce its orders, and determine evidence admissibility, with the full Senate ultimately voting on whether to convict or acquit based on the committee's report. The resolution also defines roles for the Senate President as presiding officer, the Clerk of the Senate as court clerk, and establishes guidelines for who may attend the proceedings and who may be subpoenaed.
