Legislative Research Commission Note (6/25/2009). This statute, as amended by
2009 Ky. Acts ch. 12, sec. 33, contained a reference in subsection (1) to

Statutes during codification to correct a manifest clerical or typographical error.
This correction has been made under the authority of KRS 7.136(1).
