HB 620 Kentucky House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to crimes and punishments.

HB 620 amends Kentucky's criminal code (KRS 501.060) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language in definitions related to criminal causation. The bill specifically updates legal phrases in sections about intentional, wanton, or reckless conduct that causes a result, ensuring the statute applies equally regardless of gender. This is a procedural update to modernize the language of existing law without changing the substance of criminal liability rules. The change directly affects how courts interpret criminal statutes involving causation in Kentucky.
