HB 604 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to veterans.

This bill updates Kentucky's veterans' bonus law (KRS 40.050) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. It does not change any benefit amounts ($9/month for domestic service, $15/month for overseas service), eligibility rules, or payment limits. The change only affects the wording of the existing law, ensuring it applies equally to all veterans regardless of gender. No new policies or financial impacts are created.
