HB 733: AN ACT relating to abandoned property.

HB 733 removes an exemption that previously allowed mineral proceeds (such as royalties from oil, gas, or mineral rights) to be excluded from Kentucky's unclaimed property reporting rules. This change means mineral-related funds must now be reported to the state and turned over if unclaimed after a certain period, directly affecting mineral rights holders and companies managing such proceeds. The bill amends Kentucky law to align mineral proceeds with standard unclaimed property requirements under the Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act.

HB 713: AN ACT relating to hazardous duty coverage in the Kentucky Employees Retirement System.

HB 713 expands hazardous duty retirement coverage in Kentucky to include forensic lab and crime scene personnel from the Kentucky State Police. It redefines "hazardous position" to specifically cover these roles due to their routine exposure to chemicals, narcotics, and biohazardous materials during work. This change directly affects State Police employees handling evidence or responding to crime scenes, granting them access to special retirement benefits previously available only to certain law enforcement and emergency personnel.
