AN ACT relating to government oversight.
HB 585 amends Kentucky law (KRS 6.935) to replace gendered language like "him or her" with gender-neutral terms in a provision requiring state officials to assist the Legislative Oversight and Investigations Committee. The bill directly updates existing legal text but does not change oversight procedures or affect specific groups of people. Its key mechanism is modifying the statutory language to use inclusive phrasing, such as replacing "him or her" with gender-neutral alternatives. This is a procedural update to align the law with modern language standards, not a substantive policy change. The bill is currently in committee review and has not yet been voted on.
