AN ACT relating to education.
HB 509 amends Kentucky law (KRS 156.690) to replace gendered language like "his or her" with gender-neutral terms in a statute governing a program for teachers to purchase computers. The bill directly affects the existing education statute, which currently describes a program where the Kentucky Board of Education helps certified teachers buy computers for personal use. The key provision changes the language to ensure inclusivity without altering the program's purpose or requirements. This is a procedural update to the statute's wording, not a substantive change to the computer program itself.
