Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/94). This statute was amended by 1994
Ky. Acts chs. 265 and 470, which were companion bills and are substantively
identical. These Acts have been codified together. For the few minor variations
between the Acts, Acts ch. 470 prevails under KRS 446.250, as the Act which passed
the General Assembly last. 1994 Ky. Acts ch. 352, sec. 14 is not in conflict with
these two Acts and has been codified together with them.
