AN ACT relating to veterans.

HB 563 amends Kentucky's veterans' benefits statute (KRS 40.050) to replace gendered language like "his or her" with gender-neutral terms. This change directly affects all veterans and their beneficiaries receiving payments under this law, ensuring inclusive language in eligibility and payment provisions. The bill does not alter benefit amounts ($9/month for domestic service, $15/month for overseas service, or $300/$500 caps), only updating the statutory language to be inclusive. It is a procedural update to align the law with modern inclusive terminology.
