HB 724 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to transportation.

HB 724 amends Kentucky statutes KRS 186.230 and KRS 186.120 to replace gendered pronouns like "he," "his," and "him" with gender-neutral language. This bill updates the existing language in transportation code sections governing county clerks' duties and vehicle registration refunds, without changing any substantive requirements or procedures. It directly affects how these statutes are written but does not alter the responsibilities of county clerks, vehicle owners, or the refund process for destroyed vehicles. The change ensures the legal text aligns with current standards for inclusive language.
