SB 238 Kentucky Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to agriculture.

SB 238 amends Kentucky's agricultural assessment law (KRS 247.4477) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change directly affects agricultural producers, purchasers of commodities, and the agencies managing assessment collections. The bill updates existing language in the law governing how assessments are deducted from payments and remitted to producer groups, without altering any procedural requirements or financial obligations. It ensures the statute uses inclusive language consistent with current legal standards.
