AN ACT relating to health services.

HB 674 amends Kentucky Revised Statute 216.315 to replace gendered language ("his or her") with gender-neutral terms regarding the secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The bill updates the statutory description of the secretary's duties related to hospital districts and medical service areas, ensuring the language aligns with current standards for inclusivity. This change affects how the law describes the secretary's authority but does not alter any substantive policies, requirements, or services for patients or healthcare providers. The bill is a technical correction to existing language, with no new obligations or benefits created.
