AN ACT relating to adoption.

HB 507 updates Kentucky's adoption statute (KRS 199.575) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change affects the process for adopted individuals or preadoptive siblings seeking reunion information through the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The bill modifies existing procedures - allowing 18+ individuals to request information about siblings they were raised with before adoption - but does not alter the substantive steps or requirements. The change solely ensures the statutory language is inclusive, without modifying how the adoption information system operates.
