AN ACT relating to public protection.

HB 765 amends Kentucky's intoxication defense statute (KRS 501.080) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This is a technical correction updating the statute's wording without changing the legal standard for intoxication defenses. The bill directly affects how the law is written but does not alter who may use intoxication as a defense or the conditions under which it applies. It has been introduced in the House and referred to the Veterans, Military Affairs, & Public Protection Committee.
