AN ACT relating to the sale or exchange of currency or bullion.

HB 82 modifies Kentucky's tax code to exclude capital gains and capital losses from the sale or exchange of currency (like foreign coins) or bullion (precious metals) from taxable income. This change directly affects Kentucky residents and businesses that buy, sell, or trade physical currency or precious metals, such as gold or silver coins. The bill amends Section 141.019 of Kentucky law to implement this exclusion, effective for tax years starting January 1, 2027. It removes these transactions from state income tax calculations, aligning Kentucky's treatment with federal rules for such sales.
