AN ACT relating to education.
SB 158 amends Kentucky law to replace gendered language ("his or her") with gender-neutral terms in a program that provides certified teachers with assistance to purchase computers. The bill directly affects all Kentucky certified teachers by updating the statutory description of the existing computer purchase program. Key provisions require the Kentucky Board of Education to negotiate competitive prices for computers and arrange vendor training for participating teachers. This change removes gendered pronouns from the law while maintaining the program's core mechanism of supporting teacher technology access.
