Bill > SB168

This bill updates two sections of Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 186.230 and 186.120 to replace gender-specific language with gender-neutral terms. In KRS 186.230, which describes county clerk responsibilities for vehicle registration, the bill replaces male-specific pronouns like "his" and "[he]" with gender-neutral phrases such as "the clerk" or "the clerk's office," ensuring that the language applies equally to all county clerks regardless of gender. Similarly, in KRS 186.120, which addresses vehicle registration fee refunds for vehicles destroyed by fire or accident, the bill changes pronouns from "him" to "him or her" and updates other gendered language. The modifications do not substantively change the legal requirements or processes outlined in these statutes but instead make the language more inclusive by removing gender-specific references. These changes align with modern legal drafting practices that aim to use language that is neutral and applies equally to all individuals, regardless of gender.
