AN ACT relating to medical assistance.

SB 209 amends Kentucky law (KRS 205.170) to replace gendered language like "his or her" with gender-neutral terms in administrative procedures for the medical assistance program. This change directly affects how state officials, such as the secretary or their representatives, handle official duties like taking depositions or issuing subpoenas. The bill updates existing language in the statute to use inclusive phrasing, ensuring administrative processes do not reference gender. It does not alter eligibility, benefits, or access to medical assistance for residents.
