Legislative Research Commission Note (6/26/2007) 2007 Ky. Acts ch. 96 (2007 House Bill 287) "established" KRS Chapter 39G and created new sections thereof.
However, at the time that House Bill 287 was enacted another KRS Chapter 39G was
already in existence. The Reviser of Statutes determined that the newly created
sections would be more appropriately placed in KRS Chapter 39A and has placed
Sections 1 to 9 of Acts ch. 96 within KRS Chapter 39A, under the authority of KRS
7.136(1)(a).
