AN ACT relating to veterans.

HB 353 updates Kentucky's veteran benefits statute (KRS 40.050) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change affects how the law describes veterans and their beneficiaries in official records and payments, but it does not alter any benefit amounts, eligibility rules, or payment limits. The bill directly impacts all veterans receiving benefits under this statute and their surviving beneficiaries, ensuring the language aligns with modern inclusive standards. No policy changes to benefits or eligibility are made - only the wording of the law is updated.
