Legislative Research Commission Note (2/2/2021). In codification, a correction has been made to subsection (5)(b) of this statute. 2021 Senate Bill 2, Section 12, which amended this statute, contained a reference in subsection (5)(b) to "Section 4(2) of this Act," which would have been codified as "KRS 13A.190(2)." However, it is clear from the context and from consultation with the drafter that the reference was intended to read "Section 4(3) of this Act," which would be codified as "KRS 13A.190(3)." Under the authority of KRS 7.136, the Reviser of Statutes has corrected this reference. Legislative Research Commission Note (6/27/2019). Under the authority of KRS 7.136(1), the Reviser of Statutes has modified the internal numbering of this statute from the way it appeared in 2019 Ky. Acts ch. 192, sec. 8. Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/2016). During codification of 2016 Ky. Acts ch. 82, sec. 27, the Reviser of Statutes corrected a manifest clerical or typographical error in references in subsection (3)(c) and (d) of this statute to "subsection (6)(b)1." and "subsection (6)(b)2.", respectively, of Section 26 of that Act, which was KRS 13A.290. The correct references should have been to "subsection (6)(a)1." and "subsection (6)(a)2.", respectively, of KRS 13A.290 and are reflected that way in this statute.
