AN ACT relating to tourism.
HB 742 amends Kentucky law to replace gendered language (like "his or her") with gender-neutral terms in descriptions of park ranger employment under the Department of Parks. This change directly affects how the Department of Parks refers to park rangers in official statutes, ensuring inclusive language in job-related policies. The bill updates KRS 148.056 to remove gendered pronouns while keeping all existing duties, powers, and requirements for park rangers unchanged. The bill is currently in committee review and has not yet become law.
