AN ACT relating to child custody.

HB 275 amends Kentucky's child custody law (KRS 610.050) to replace gendered terms like "himself/herself" with gender-neutral language. This change updates the statutory text to ensure the law applies equally regardless of gender, without altering any custody procedures or requirements. The bill affects how court orders describe child custody situations in legal documents but does not change existing rules about emergency custody, dependency cases, or mental health provisions. It is a technical correction to the law’s language, not a policy shift. The bill is currently in committee review after its initial introduction.
