HB 797 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to workforce investment.

This bill amends Kentucky's vocational rehabilitation laws to use gender-neutral language when describing eligibility for services. It directly affects individuals with physical or mental disabilities who apply for vocational rehabilitation support in the state. The key provision ensures that the law refers to applicants using "his or her" instead of gender-specific terms, making the eligibility criteria apply equally to all people regardless of gender. The bill does not change the actual requirements for receiving services, which remain limited to those who live in Kentucky or qualify through interstate or federal agreements.
