Created 1962 Ky. Acts ch. 244, Art. II, sec. 4. Legislative  Research  Commission  Note  (9/2/94).  By  letter  of  September  2,  1994,  the Secretary  of  the  Finance  and  Administration  Cabinet,  acting  under  KRS  48.500, 
advised the  Reviser of Statutes of his determination "that no funds appropriated by 
the Executive Branch Appropriations Act for the 1995-96 biennium can be identified 
as  having  been  appropriated  for  the  purpose  of  implementing  Sections  1  to  7  of 
House Bill No. 616, Chapter (296), Acts of the 1994 Regular Session of the General 
Assembly." Accordingly, the amendment to this statute contained in 1994 Ky. Acts 
ch. 296 is void under sec. 3(8) of that Act and has not been codified into the statute.
