Bill > SR112

This resolution encourages the establishment of the Fatherhood and Family Engagement Task Force, a group tasked with studying the impacts of fatherhood and father absence on children, families, and communities in Kentucky. The task force will examine barriers fathers face in being involved in their children's lives, assess current programs and policies, and identify opportunities to improve father engagement through various means, including policy reforms and community partnerships. It will also look at best practices from other states and the relationship between father engagement and outcomes in areas like child welfare, education, and public safety. The resolution outlines a proposed membership for the task force, including legislators, state agency representatives, and at-large members with relevant expertise or lived experience, and encourages them to meet regularly and submit findings and recommendations to the Legislative Research Commission by December 1, 2026.
