House adopts resolutions, reads citations and refers impeachment petition to special committee
Summary
During a routine floor session the House adopted HR33 honoring cancer patients, read multiple citations (including one recognizing Newport Central Catholic High School), and the committee on committees reported referrals and sent a petition for impeachment of Judge Julian Goodman to the 2026 committee on impeachment.
The Kentucky House on Jan. 29 took several nonlegislative and procedural actions: adopting ceremonial resolutions and reading citations, noting committee referrals, and forwarding a petition for impeachment.
The lady from Metcalfe moved adoption of House Resolution 33 honoring cancer patients, survivors and families and designating Jan. 29, 2026 as "Suits and Sneakers Day;" the resolution was ordered adopted. The clerk read several citations, including Citation 14 recognizing Newport Central Catholic High School’s National Blue Ribbon status; members spoke in recognition and adoption was ordered.
In committee business, the committee on committees reported the referral of numerous bills to standing committees and announced committee changes, including appointments to ranking minority member posts. The committee also reported referral of a petition for impeachment of Judge Julian Goodman to the 2026 committee on impeachment.
These actions were procedural or ceremonial; the impeachment petition referral moves the matter into standing investigatory committee processes rather than being adjudicated on the floor.
