AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 202C.010, which defines terms used in the chapter concerning involuntary commitment. Specifically, it expands the definition of a "qualifying offense" to include a violation of sexual abuse in the first degree, which is a serious crime.

The bill also makes minor technical corrections to the existing text.
