Rep. Meredith to remain chair of Kentucky House’s Banking and Insurance Committee

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Michael Meredith, Kentucky House Representative District 19, will remain Chair of the Kentucky House’s Banking and Insurance Committee. On Tuesday, House Speaker David Osborne made the announcement.

“It is an honor to be named to serve a second term as Chair of the House Banking and Insurance Committee,” said Representative Meredith. “This role comes with great responsibility, and I am committed to building on the progress we’ve made to strengthen our banking and insurance industries while ensuring the highest levels of consumer protection.”

The House Banking and Insurance Committee addresses legislation that focuses on ensuring safety of funds in Kentucky’s financial institutions and regulating banks, credit unions, investment firms, insurance, and consumer finance in the state.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, a committee chair “serves as the parliamentary head of a committee. The chair sets the committee’s agenda, determining when—or in many states, whether—bills will be considered.”

Representative Meredith will serve as a member of House Licensing, Occupations, and Administrative Regulations Committee; and the House Local Government Committee.

Meredith has served as Representative of district 19 since 2011. District 19 is comprised of Edmonson County and parts of Warren County.
