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.
