Legislative Research Commission Note (6/25/2009). During the processing of Senate
Bill 182, which became 2009 Ky. Acts ch. 13, the following sentence was <br>inadvertently inserted twice in subsection (1) of this statute: "The Motor Vehicle <br>Commission established in KRS 190.058 shall be attached to the Department of <br>Vehicle Regulation for administrative purposes." This manifest clerical or <br>typographical error has been corrected during codification by the Reviser of Statutes <br>under the authority of KRS 7.136(1)(h).
Legislative Research Commission Note (6/25/2009). This section was amended by 2009
Ky. Acts ch. 12 and 13, which do not appear to be in conflict and have been codified <br>together.
Legislative Research Commission Note (12/1/2000). The contingency on the
effectiveness of this statute set by 2000 Ky. Acts ch. 417, sec. 18, was met, the voters <br>of the Commonwealth having ratified at the general election on November 7, 2000, a <br>constitutional amendment (see 2000 Ky. Acts ch. 399) abolishing the Railroad <br>Commission.
