AN ACT relating to the environment.

SB 212 amends Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 350.028 to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language throughout the section. This change affects the Energy and Environment Cabinet’s statutory references when describing its authority to adopt regulations, issue orders, or impose penalties under environmental laws. The bill does not alter any environmental regulations, enforcement procedures, or substantive requirements - it only updates the language to be inclusive. The change applies specifically to Section 5 of KRS 350.028, which governs the cabinet’s regulatory powers under federal surface mining law.
