This resolution urges Kentucky's higher education and K-12 education agencies to work with the Secretary of State to create a plan for improving how students learn about the U.S. constitutional system and democratic processes. It does not create a new law but calls on these agencies to develop specific strategies and a timeline for that goal. Because it passed the Senate, it expresses the chamber's official position on this priority. Who it may affect: Kentucky students, teachers, and postsecondary institutions involved in civics and government education.
