AN ACT relating to agriculture.

HB 488 updates the language in Kentucky law regarding the Commissioner of Agriculture to use gender-neutral terms (replacing "his or her" with inclusive language). It directly affects the statutory description of the Commissioner's authority under KRS 246.285, which outlines their role in handling agricultural claims, property, and contracts. The bill makes no substantive changes to the Commissioner's duties or how agricultural programs operate - only revises the wording to be more inclusive. This is a procedural language update, not a policy change affecting farmers, businesses, or state programs.
