Bill > SB247

This bill updates two sections of Kentucky law (KRS 186.230 and KRS 186.120) to use gender-neutral language, replacing male-specific pronouns like "he" and "him" with gender-inclusive terms such as "he or she" and "the clerk" throughout the text. Specifically, the bill modifies two sections related to vehicle registration and licensing procedures. In the first section (KRS 186.230), the changes impact how county clerks are described in their responsibilities for processing vehicle registrations, collecting fees, and reporting to the Transportation Cabinet. In the second section (KRS 186.120), the modifications relate to provisions for refunding license fees when a motor vehicle is destroyed by fire or accident, ensuring that the language applies equally to all vehicle owners regardless of gender. These changes are part of a broader trend to make legal language more inclusive and avoid gendered terminology. The amendments do not alter the substantive legal requirements or procedures, but instead focus on updating the language to be more neutral and universally applicable.
