AN ACT relating to crimes and punishments.

HB 512 amends Kentucky's criminal statute KRS 501.080 to update language from "his or her" to gender-neutral terms. This is a technical correction to modernize the statute's wording without changing the legal meaning or requirements for intoxication as a defense. The bill affects how the law is written but does not alter who can use intoxication as a defense or the conditions under which it applies. It directly affects the statute's text in criminal cases involving intoxication defenses. The bill is currently in committee review after its February 13, 2025, introduction.
