56.190 What lands may be appropriated -- Effect of previous entry, survey or
patent.
(1) Only vacant lands may be appropriated under KRS 56.200 to 56.240. Land that has
escheated to the state, or has been forfeited for failure to list it for taxation or for
nonpayment of taxes, or has been legally and validly patented before, is not vacant
land.
(2) Every entry, survey, or patent is void insofar as it embraces land previously entered,
surveyed, or patented, unless the previous entry, survey, or patent itself is void; in
which case the first subsequent lawful entry, survey, or patent, whether issued
before, on, or after June 13, 1944, shall be valid and be accorded the same force and
effect it would have been entitled to have been accorded, had the void entry, survey,
or patent never been issued.
