A RESOLUTION adjourning the Senate in honor and loving memory Val A. "Bud" Lederer.
This is a ceremonial resolution (SR 45), not a policy bill. It directs the Kentucky Senate to adjourn in honor of Val A. "Bud" Lederer, a longtime Alexandria Fire Department member who served 65 years, including 18 as Fire Chief, and was recognized for leadership in the Kentucky Firefighters Association. The resolution expresses the Senate's sympathy upon his passing and instructs the Clerk to deliver a copy to his family. No new laws, funding, or policy changes are created - this is a formal memorial gesture for the Senate's schedule only.
