Legislative Research Commission Note (7/12/2006). This section was amended
in 2006 Ky. Acts ch. 183. In that same session, 2006 Ky. Acts ch. 247, sec. 38
required that all sections of KRS Chapters 287, 288, 290, 291, 294, 366, 366A,
and 368 be renumbered as sections of a single KRS chapter entitled the
"Kentucky Financial Services Code." Therefore, the Statute Reviser, acting
under KRS 7.136(1), has changed the number of this section and codified it as a
new section of KRS Chapter 286.
