AN ACT relating to state government.
This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes 56.020 to update gender-neutral language in the section describing the Secretary of State's duties. It clarifies that the Secretary of State maintains custody of state-owned property records and must keep original documents accessible at their office. The amendment ensures the statute uses inclusive language by replacing gendered terms with neutral alternatives like "He or she." This change directly affects the statutory language governing the Secretary of State's record-keeping responsibilities without altering the underlying duties.
