AN ACT relating to veterans.

SB 227 amends Kentucky's veterans' benefits statute (KRS 40.050) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change applies to all provisions describing veterans' eligibility, payment calculations, and beneficiary definitions in the law. The bill does not alter any benefit amounts ($300 or $500 maximum payments), eligibility criteria, or service requirements. It solely updates the statutory language to be inclusive, affecting how the law is written but not changing any actual benefits or processes for veterans or their beneficiaries.
