AN ACT relating to veterans.
HB 710 amends Kentucky's veterans' bonus statute (KRS 40.050) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change affects how the law describes eligibility and payments for all veterans covered under the statute, including surviving beneficiaries. The bill does not alter payment amounts ($9/month domestic service, $15/month overseas), eligibility rules, or benefit caps. It is a technical update to ensure inclusive language in the law, with no substantive policy changes to veterans' benefits.
