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.
