SB 293: AN ACT relating to natural resources.

SB 293 amends KRS 224.73-100 to correct minor grammatical and technical errors in existing law regarding sewer corporations. The bill does not change policy but ensures the legal text accurately reflects current procedures for corporations seeking to condemn property for sewer pipelines and treatment facilities. It affects sewer corporations authorized to operate in Kentucky by clarifying how they must obtain permits and approvals from the Energy and Environment Cabinet. The change is purely procedural, updating wording without altering the substantive rights or requirements described in the original statute.

SB 287: AN ACT relating to the State Fair Board.

SB 287 amends Kentucky law (KRS 247.210) to replace gendered language ("he or she") with gender-neutral terms in a rule prohibiting State Fair Board members or department officials from being exhibitors at state fairs while holding office. This change directly affects current and future members of the State Fair Board and department officials who serve in their official capacities. The bill updates the statute to ensure the rule applies equally regardless of gender, without altering the underlying prohibition. As a procedural language update, it does not create new restrictions or impact other aspects of the law.
