Bill Summary
Amend KRS 620.180, relating to child in out-of-home care, to insert gender-neutral language.
AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 620.180, which outlines provisions for children in out-of-home care, by inserting gender-neutral language. Specifically, it changes references to "his parent" to "his or her parent" and "his counsel" to "his or her counsel" to ensure that the language used in the law is inclusive of all genders when referring to parents and their legal representation in child welfare cases. This change aims to modernize the legal text and reflect a more equitable approach to child welfare proceedings.
