AN ACT relating to public protection.

SB 139 updates Kentucky's fire protection district laws to use gender-neutral language. It revises KRS 75.160 by replacing phrases like "he or she" with inclusive terms when describing fire department chiefs and their duties. The bill does not change any actual powers, responsibilities, or enforcement authority for fire department members. It directly affects how fire protection district personnel are referenced in state law, ensuring terminology aligns with modern standards. This is a procedural language update with no impact on substantive policy or public safety operations.
