AN ACT relating to retirement.

SB 187 amends Kentucky's retirement statute (KRS 61.530) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change directly affects all state employees covered by Kentucky's retirement system who may have been referenced under the current gendered phrasing. The bill's sole provision updates the statutory language to be inclusive, without altering any retirement benefits, eligibility rules, or contribution requirements. It is a procedural update to modernize the law's wording, not a substantive policy change. The bill is currently in committee review after its February 2025 introduction.
