AN ACT relating to agriculture.
HB 747 amends Kentucky Revised Statute 246.285 to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change affects the Commissioner of Agriculture’s authority under existing agricultural laws, specifically updating how their powers are described in statutes related to collecting claims, acquiring property, and managing assets. The bill makes no substantive policy changes - only revises wording to be inclusive. It is currently in committee review after introduction in February 2026.
