Bill > HB766

This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 502.060, which deals with criminal liability for corporate conduct, by updating the language to be gender-neutral. Specifically, the bill replaces the masculine pronouns "he" and "his" with gender-inclusive language "he or she" and "his or her" throughout the statute. This change ensures that the legal language is more inclusive and reflects modern standards of gender representation, while maintaining the original intent of the law. The provision continues to establish that an individual can be held criminally responsible for offenses committed on behalf of a corporation in the same manner as if they had committed those acts personally. Such language updates are part of a broader trend in legal drafting to use more equitable and non-discriminatory terminology.
