AN ACT relating to children.

HB 524 amends Kentucky law (KRS 610.050) to replace gendered language like "himself, herself" with gender-neutral terms such as "himself, herself, or their" in court orders regarding temporary child custody. This change directly affects court proceedings involving child welfare, dependency, neglect, or abuse cases where custody orders are issued. The bill only updates the statutory language to be inclusive - it does not alter legal procedures, eligibility, or outcomes for children or families. The amendment ensures court documents use neutral language without changing any substantive requirements for custody decisions.
