AN ACT relating to education.

HB 619 amends Kentucky law (KRS 156.690) to replace gendered language like "his or her" with gender-neutral terms in a program supporting teachers purchasing computers. The bill directly affects certified teachers in Kentucky by updating the statutory language governing a state-administered program that helps teachers buy computers through competitive bidding and vendor training. Key provisions require the Kentucky Board of Education to secure low-cost computers for teachers and arrange training, now with gender-neutral phrasing in the legal text. This change updates existing policy language without altering the program’s structure or eligibility. The bill is currently pending in the House Postsecondary Education Committee.
