AN ACT relating to state government.

SB 206 amends Kentucky Revised Statute 56.020 to update gendered language to be inclusive, changing references from "he or she" to gender-neutral terms in the Secretary of State's duties. The bill directly affects state record-keeping procedures by requiring the Secretary of State to maintain property records using inclusive language. It modifies the statutory description of the Secretary's responsibilities for recording deeds, indexes, and property records, without altering the actual duties or substantive requirements. This is a procedural update to modernize administrative language, not a policy change. The bill is currently in the Senate committee stage after introduction on February 18, 2026.
