AN ACT relating to crimes and punishments.

HB 678 updates Kentucky's criminal liability law to use gender-neutral language. It amends KRS 502.060 to replace phrases like "he or she" with gender-neutral terms when describing corporate criminal liability. This change directly affects corporations and their representatives by clarifying that criminal responsibility for corporate actions applies equally regardless of gender. The bill modifies the statute's wording without altering existing legal standards or penalties. The change aims to modernize legal language while maintaining the current scope of corporate accountability.
