SENATOR MATT NUNN’S FIRST 

BILL SIGNED INTO LAW

Governor signs Senate Bill 176

FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 19, 2025)—Sen. Matt Nunn, R-Sadieville, has passed his first legislation into law with Senate Bill (SB) 176 being signed by the Governor on Wednesday. The bill updates the process for appointing members to various legislative statutory committees.

The new law requires committee appointments to be made in January of each odd-numbered year, with vacancies filled within 30 days. It also clarifies that the Senate president and House speaker will appoint co-chairs for these committees, which include the Legislative Research Commission, the Legislative Oversight and Investigations Committee, and others.

"This isn’t the kind of legislation that will excite anyone or get headlines, but it will make an administrative process more efficient and help the people who use the process, and that’s ultimately why I’m Frankfort," Nunn said. "It’s exciting to have my first bill go into law, and I'm grateful to my constituents for trusting me to represent them in Frankfort. I hope to see some other bills I’ve sponsored and supported be signed soon."

As Nunn continues his first term, SB 176 marks his first successful legislative effort.
