Rep. Jason Petrie

Maddy summaryHB 546 amends Kentucky tax law (KRS 131.150) to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language throughout the section. This change affects all taxpayers subject to the tax assessment and collection procedures described in the statute. The bill makes no substantive changes to tax rates, penalties, or collection processes - only updates the language to be inclusive. It is a procedural update to the existing tax code, not a policy change affecting tax obligations.

Maddy summaryHB 614 is a technical correction bill amending KRS 131.140, which governs property valuation and tax administration procedures in Kentucky. It updates wording in existing statutes to clarify requirements for property valuation administrators, county tax officials, and the Department of Revenue regarding recordkeeping, audits, and conference attendance. The bill does not create new policies or affect taxpayers directly; it only corrects language in current law to ensure administrative clarity. This is a routine procedural update affecting state and local tax officials who handle property assessments.

Maddy summaryHB 640 is a technical correction bill to Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 131.170, which governs tax filing extensions. It fixes a minor wording error in the statute (adding "of Revenue" after "department") and clarifies existing procedures for granting tax filing extensions. The bill directly affects taxpayers who request extensions and the Kentucky Department of Revenue, which administers these extensions. It does not change any substantive tax rules or create new requirements. This is a procedural adjustment to ensure the law is accurately worded.

Maddy summaryHB 674 makes technical corrections to Kentucky's budget submission rules for government branches. It requires all budget recommendations to include specific dollar amounts for every item, banning vague terms like "necessary government expense" without them. The bill also mandates that when a fund's entire proceeds are assigned to specific budget units, agencies must provide annual revenue estimates for the current and prior two fiscal bienniums. This affects all state government branches submitting budget recommendations to the General Assembly. The changes clarify procedural requirements without altering funding levels or policy substance.

Maddy summaryHB 675 updates Kentucky law to replace gendered language in a tax collection procedure. It amends KRS 131.205 to use gender-neutral terms (replacing "his or her" with inclusive phrasing) for Department of Revenue field representatives who collect taxes. The bill does not change any tax collection rules or procedures - only the wording describing who performs the task. It directly affects field representatives handling tax payments but has no impact on tax rates, filing requirements, or other fiscal policies. This is a procedural language update, not a substantive policy change.

Maddy summaryHB 515 makes a technical correction to Kentucky Revised Statute 141.068, clarifying definitions and procedures for tax credits under the state's investment fund program. The amendment does not change existing tax credit rules but ensures accurate wording in the statute for administrative clarity. It directly affects investors, investment fund managers, and the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority. This correction helps maintain consistent application of the tax credit program without altering policy.

Maddy summaryHB 673 is a technical correction to Kentucky law (KRS 48.160) governing how state budget branches request matching funds for federal programs. It updates the language to clarify that state matching funds cannot be used for certain federal block grants unless applications comply with federal/state laws and KRS 45.353 standards. The bill directly affects state budget units that submit funding requests to match anticipated federal dollars. This is a minor wording adjustment to existing budget rules, not a policy change, and does not alter how matching funds are actually allocated or utilized.

Amend KRS 48.210, relating to branch budget bills, to require the Transportation Cabinet to provide assistance to the General Assembly during the budgeting process.

Maddy summaryThis bill makes a minor technical correction to a Kentucky state law regarding how budget recommendations are printed and distributed. It changes one word in the statute from "ensure" to "insure" to improve clarity in the language. The amendment applies to the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, which must provide budget documents to General Assembly members and their clerks. The change does not alter the actual requirement that each branch produce enough copies for legislators and their staff to have individual copies of the budget recommendations. This is a procedural update focused on correcting the spelling of a verb in an existing budget procedure law.
