HB 706 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to postsecondary education.

HB 706 amends Kentucky law to update gender-specific language in compensation rules for the Council on Postsecondary Education. It replaces "his or her" with gender-neutral terms in KRS 164.050, which governs daily payments and expense reimbursement for council members. This change directly affects how the council's compensation structure is described in state law, ensuring the language is inclusive. The bill does not alter payment amounts, eligibility, or other policy details - it only updates the wording to be gender-neutral. The change is procedural and affects only the statutory text, not the actual benefits provided to council members.
