Legislative Research Commission Note (6/8/2011). 2011 Ky. Acts ch. 2 sec. 77,
directed that a new section of KRS 441.420 to 441.450 be created for this statute.
However, during codification, the Reviser of Statutes determined that this statute,
which contains definitions for KRS 441.420 to 441.450, was more appropriately
numbered preceding that range of statutes, and created the new section as KRS
441.415 under the authority of KRS 7.136.
