History: Amended 2010 Ky. Acts ch. 147, sec. 1, effective July 15, 2010. -- Amended 2005 Ky. Acts ch. 85, sec. 107, effective June 20, 2005; and ch. 184, sec. 1, effective June 20, 2005. --
Amended 1992 Ky. Acts ch. 403, sec. 1, effective July 14, 1992.-- Amended 1982 Ky. Acts
ch. 452, sec. 1, effective July 1, 1982 -- Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective
October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 4114h-1. Legislative Research Commission Note (6/20/2005). Under 2005 Ky. Acts ch. 184, sec. 18, changes in the names of agencies and officers that are made in bills confirming a
reorganization of the executive branch are to be codified only to the event those changes do
not conflict with other 2005 amendments. Accordingly, an amendment to this section in Acts
ch. 184 prevails over a name change made in Acts ch. 85. Legislative Research Commission Note (6/20/2005). 2005 Ky. Acts chs. 11, 85, 95, 97, 98, 99, 123, and 181 instruct the Reviser of Statutes to correct statutory references to agencies and
officers whose names have been changed in 2005 legislation confirming the reorganization of
the executive branch. Such a correction has been made in this section.
