AN ACT relating to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

HB 274 amends Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 407.440 to replace gendered language ("his or her") with gender-neutral terms in a provision about appeals of child support orders. The bill updates the language used by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services when referring to its secretary or representatives, making the statute more inclusive without changing the underlying process. It directly affects the Cabinet's internal procedures for handling support order appeals but does not alter eligibility, funding, or substantive rights for families. This is a technical correction to modernize statutory language, not a policy change impacting service recipients or court procedures. The bill remains in committee as of February 2025.
