HB 705 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to postsecondary education.

HB 705 amends Kentucky law (KRS 164.050) to replace gendered language in travel expense reimbursement rules for the Council on Postsecondary Education. It changes phrases like "his or her" to gender-neutral terms, affecting how the statute describes reimbursement for council members, their institutional representatives, and the chief state school officer. The bill does not alter reimbursement amounts, eligibility, or financial processes. This is a language update to modernize the statute without changing policy substance.
