SB 244 Kentucky Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to transportation.

SB 244 amends Kentucky transportation statutes (KRS 186.230 and 186.120) to replace gendered pronouns like "his" and "he" with gender-neutral language. The bill updates procedural language in county clerk responsibilities and vehicle refund processes without changing any fees, deadlines, or operational requirements. It directly affects county clerks who enforce vehicle registration and tax collection under these statutes. The change ensures consistency with modern inclusive language standards in state law.
