HB 350: AN ACT relating to cemeteries.

HB 350 requires cemetery owners (excluding private family plots) in Kentucky to maintain burial grounds by keeping them free of weeds, debris, and displaced tombstones. It mandates protection against desecration, vandalism, or misuse (like dumping), with exceptions for damage caused by criminal acts. City governments within their limits can enforce these maintenance standards on all public or private cemeteries. Private cemetery owners must build protective structures only if their county has a cemetery board that reimburses related costs.

HB 353: AN ACT relating to veterans.

HB 353 updates Kentucky's veteran benefits statute (KRS 40.050) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language. This change affects how the law describes veterans and their beneficiaries in official records and payments, but it does not alter any benefit amounts, eligibility rules, or payment limits. The bill directly impacts all veterans receiving benefits under this statute and their surviving beneficiaries, ensuring the language aligns with modern inclusive standards. No policy changes to benefits or eligibility are made - only the wording of the law is updated.
