HB 720: AN ACT relating to education.

HB 720 amends Kentucky law to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language in a provision about teacher computer purchases. The bill directly affects certified teachers in Kentucky by updating the wording of an existing program (not creating a new one) that allows the Kentucky Board of Education to help teachers buy computers through bulk purchasing and training. Key provisions are limited to revising the statutory language to be inclusive, with no new funding, requirements, or program changes. This is a procedural update to ensure the law uses modern, non-discriminatory language.

HB 719: AN ACT relating to education.

HB 719 amends Kentucky law to update gender-specific language in a program supporting teachers. It replaces "his or her" with gender-neutral terms in KRS 156.690, which currently outlines a program where the Kentucky Board of Education helps certified teachers purchase personal computers. The bill does not change the program's core elements - competitive bidding for computers or vendor-provided training - but ensures the language applies equally to all teachers regardless of gender. This change directly affects certified teachers and the administrative processes of the Kentucky Board of Education.
