Bill > SB156

This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 56.020 to update the language regarding the Secretary of State's responsibilities for maintaining state government records and property documents. Specifically, the bill introduces gender-neutral language by replacing the masculine pronoun "he" with "he or she" when referring to the Secretary of State's duties. The law outlines the Secretary of State's responsibilities for keeping custody of state government records, including judgments, deeds, maps, and abstracts of title for state-owned land and buildings, with an exception for deeds related to road rights-of-way. The bill requires the Secretary of State to record deeds in a separate book, maintain original documents, create indexes and cross-indexes of these documents, and ensure that these records remain in the Office of the Secretary of State. This change promotes more inclusive language in official state government documentation without altering the fundamental responsibilities of the office.
