HB 839 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to health services.

This bill amends Kentucky law to update the language in KRS 216.315 to be gender-neutral, changing "his or her" to "his or her" in the official text. The change affects the secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, who would continue to have the authority to establish hospital districts when specific conditions are met. The bill does not alter the actual powers or responsibilities of the secretary, only the wording used to describe them in the statute. It is a technical update to ensure the law uses inclusive language without changing any substantive policy.
