AN ACT relating to veterans.
HB 463 amends Kentucky's veterans' benefits statute (KRS 40.050) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change affects all veterans and beneficiaries covered under the current statute, which determines monthly payments for active duty service ($9/$15 per month) and maximum benefit limits ($300/$500). The bill makes no changes to eligibility, payment amounts, or benefit rules - only updates the language to be inclusive. It is a procedural update to ensure the statute uses neutral terminology.
