SB 315 Kentucky Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to the judiciary.

This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute 27A.100 to update gender-neutral language and make technical corrections regarding the composition of the Judicial Council. The changes replace gendered terms like "chairman" with "chair" and "he" with "him" or "his or her" throughout the statute's description of council members and leadership roles. The bill does not alter the number of council members, their appointment processes, or their terms of service, but ensures the language used to describe these positions is inclusive and modern. It directly affects the statutory language governing the Judicial Council but does not change how the council operates or who serves on it.
