AN ACT relating to agriculture.
SB 242 amends Kentucky's agricultural code (KRS 246.285) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language in the Commissioner of Agriculture's authority. This change applies specifically to the Commissioner's powers regarding claims, property, and contracts under agricultural laws. The bill does not alter any substantive policies, funding, or responsibilities - it only updates the language to be inclusive. It affects how the Commissioner's role is described in statute, not who is impacted by agricultural programs.
