Bill Summary

Amend KRS 199.575 to insert gender-neutral language.

AI Summary

This bill amends a Kentucky law (KRS 199.575) concerning adoption procedures to make the language gender-neutral. Specifically, it changes phrases like "his brother or sister" to "his or her brother or sister" and "himself" to "himself or herself" when referring to adopted individuals or their siblings inquiring about each other through the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. This ensures that the law applies equally regardless of gender when siblings who were previously separated by adoption seek to reconnect.
