AN ACT relating to operations within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

HB 509 amends Kentucky law (KRS 199.430) to replace gendered language like "his or her" with gender-neutral terms in administrative procedures for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. This change affects all interactions with the Cabinet, including staff, witnesses, and individuals receiving services, by updating how the law describes roles and responsibilities. The bill specifically revises sections governing depositions, subpoenas, witness testimony, and record handling to use inclusive language. It does not alter substantive policies or service requirements, only the wording of existing procedural rules. The change applies to all documents, communications, and actions under the Cabinet's authority.
