Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/2008). There are two incorrect
internal references in subsection (2) of this statute that have not been corrected
in codification because they are drafting errors, not manifest clerical or
typographical errors correctable by the Reviser of Statutes under KRS
7.136(1)(h). However, the reference in subsection (2)(a) to "subsection (1) of
this section" should have been drafted as "subsection (1)(a), (c), and (d) of this
section" since the deputy commissioner of the Department for Public Health
referenced in subsection (1)(c) of this statute serves as an ex officio, not
appointed, member of the advisory committee. Likewise, the reference in
subsection (2)(b) of this statute to "subsection (1)(e) to (k) of this section" should
have been drafted as "subsection (1)(c) and (e) to (k) of this section."
