HB 475 Kentucky House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to workforce investment.

HB 475 amends Kentucky law (KRS 151B.190) to replace gendered language like "his or her" with gender-neutral terms in the eligibility criteria for vocational rehabilitation services. This change directly affects all individuals applying for these services, including those with physical or mental disabilities, by updating the legal language used to describe applicants. The bill’s key provision is a simple textual update to the statute, ensuring the law uses inclusive language without altering who qualifies for services. It does not change eligibility requirements or create new policies, only modernizing the existing legal text. The bill is currently in committee review after its February 2025 introduction.
