AN ACT relating to civil actions.

SB 317 amends Kentucky law to correct technical errors in the requirements for sureties on civil bonds. The bill clarifies that sureties must be state residents, possess sufficient financial worth, and hold property within the state that can be used to satisfy bond obligations. These changes apply to bonds required under existing statutes and civil procedure rules. The legislation uses plain language to fix grammatical issues and ensure the qualifications for multiple sureties are clearly stated. This bill affects individuals and businesses serving as sureties in Kentucky civil proceedings.
