AN ACT relating to public safety.
This bill amends Kentucky law to update the police officer oath with gender-neutral language, affecting all sworn law enforcement officers in the state. The key provision requires officers to take an oath before beginning their duties and have it signed and filed with the Department of Public Safety. The change replaces outdated terms like "policemen" with inclusive language while maintaining the same core requirements for taking the oath. This is a technical update to ensure the law reflects modern standards of inclusivity without altering the substantive obligations of police officers.
