AN ACT relating to education.
HB 719 amends Kentucky law to update gender-specific language in a program supporting teachers. It replaces "his or her" with gender-neutral terms in KRS 156.690, which currently outlines a program where the Kentucky Board of Education helps certified teachers purchase personal computers. The bill does not change the program's core elements - competitive bidding for computers or vendor-provided training - but ensures the language applies equally to all teachers regardless of gender. This change directly affects certified teachers and the administrative processes of the Kentucky Board of Education.
