Legislative Research Commission Note (7/12/2012). This statute was amended by 2012
Ky. Acts chs. 146 and 158, which do not appear to be in conflict and have been
codified together.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/2010). 2010 Ky. Acts ch. 141, sec. 22,
changed "Kentucky Commission on Services and Supports for Individuals with
Mental Retardation" to "Kentucky Commission on services and Supports for
Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities." It is apparent from an examination of other
sections of this Act and from consultation with the drafter that "Individuals with
Intellectual Disabilities" should have been "Individuals with an Intellectual
Disability," to conform with changes made to other sections of the Act. The Reviser
of Statutes had made this change under the authority of KRS 7.136.
