Booneville Sentinel Republishes LRC Notice on SB 6 $150M Kentucky Research Investment

Senate President Robert Stivers is the sponsor of SB 6, a bill proposing a $150 million investment in Kentucky's research infrastructure, and the Booneville Sentinel republished a Legislative Research Commission public information notice about that proposal on Feb. 14, 2026 for readers in Booneville and Owsley County. The republished notice presents the bill designation, the funding total, and the LRC's official text for local review.

The Legislative Research Commission notice republished in the Sentinel identified SB 6 by number and tied the $150 million figure to statewide research infrastructure; the Sentinel's republication made that official notice available to its local audience. By carrying the LRC text, the Sentinel provided Booneville readers direct access to the legislative language sponsored by Robert Stivers and the specific appropriation amount included in the proposal.

For Owsley County residents tracking state budget and economic development developments, the $150 million headline in SB 6 is the central concrete figure now circulating locally because of the Sentinel's republication. The bill's sponsor, Senate President Robert Stivers, is listed on the notice as the member filing the legislation; the republished LRC notice preserves those particulars for voters and local officials who follow legislation affecting Kentucky institutions.

Those seeking the full LRC notice will find the republished text in the Booneville Sentinel's Feb. 14, 2026 issue; the Legislative Research Commission remains the originating source of the public information notice. Local officials, school leaders, and civic organizations in Owsley County can use the Sentinel's republication to confirm the SB 6 funding amount and the sponsor before pursuing follow-up with state legislators or LRC staff.
