Bill > HB487

This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 262.095 to replace the gendered term "chairman" with the gender-neutral term "chairperson" when referring to how appropriations from the State Treasury for the Soil and Water Conservation Commission are to be paid out. The change is a simple linguistic modification that ensures the language of the law is inclusive and does not specify a particular gender for the leadership role. By replacing "chairman" with "chairperson," the bill makes the statute more contemporary and reflects principles of gender equality in official documentation. The amendment does not change the substantive meaning or operational details of the law, but rather updates the terminology to be more neutral and welcoming.
