This bill would update existing Kentucky law related to children by replacing gendered terms with gender-neutral language. The change is a technical edit to the wording of the law rather than a shift in its core policy. Who it may affect: those who work with or are subject to the children's legal statutes covered under KRS 610.050, such as families, youth, and legal professionals.
