AN ACT relating to crimes and punishments.

SB 147 updates Kentucky's criminal law by replacing gendered language ("his or her") with gender-neutral terms ("their") in KRS 501.080, which defines intoxication as a defense in criminal cases. The bill makes a technical correction to the statute without changing legal standards or outcomes for defendants. It directly affects criminal defendants in Kentucky by ensuring the law uses inclusive language while maintaining the same legal framework for intoxication defenses. The bill does not alter how intoxication can be used as a defense - it only updates the wording to be gender-neutral.
