Bill > HB524

This bill amends a Kentucky law, specifically KRS 610.050, which deals with court orders regarding children. The primary change is to replace gender-specific language like "himself" and "his" with gender-neutral terms such as "himself, herself" and "his or her." This update aims to make the law more inclusive by ensuring it applies equally regardless of a child's gender when discussing situations where a child might be a danger to themselves or the community, or when their welfare is being harmed or threatened, potentially requiring a change in custody. The bill also clarifies that specific procedures in KRS Chapter 620 must be followed for cases involving allegations of dependency, neglect, or abuse, and KRS Chapter 645 for cases involving mental illness.
