Acts chs. 146 and 158, which do not appear to be in conflict and have been codified together. Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/2010). 2010 Ky. Acts ch. 141, sec. 22, changed "Kentucky Commission on Services and Supports for Individuals with Mental Retardation" to "Kentucky Commission on services and Supports for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities." It is apparent from an examination of other sections of this Act and from consultation with the drafter that "Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities" should have been "Individuals with an Intellectual Disability," to conform with changes made to other sections of the Act. The Reviser of Statutes had made this change under the authority of KRS 7.136.
