Legislative Research Commission Note (7/13/2004). When this statute was enacted
(2004 KY. Acts ch. 65, sec. 29), the word "subchapter" was erroneously included in
the first sentence of subsection (2). KRS Chapter 349, which was created in this bill,
is not divided into subchapters. This manifest clerical or typographical error has
been corrected by changing the word "subchapter" to "chapter" by the Reviser of
Statutes pursuant to KRS 7.136.
