AN ACT relating to economic development.

SB 215 amends a Kentucky law (KRS 154.26-050) to replace gendered language ("his or her") with gender-neutral terms in a provision protecting directors or officers of certain authorities from personal liability for authorized actions. This change directly affects officials serving on economic development authorities by updating the legal language governing their liability. The bill’s title references economic development, but the actual provision is a technical language update with no substantive policy changes to economic development programs. The bill was introduced in the Senate on February 18, 2025, and referred to the Economic Development committee for review.
