Effective:July 15, 1996
History: Amended 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 318, sec. 282, effective July 15, 1996. -Created 1992 Ky. Acts ch. 299, sec. 1, effective July 14, 1992.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/14/92). This statute was created in
1992 Ky. Acts ch. 299, which contains the enrolled text of Senate Bill 250. A
committee substitute for this bill was adopted by the House with a floor
amendment, and the Senate subsequently concurred in this action by the
House; this amended substitute thus became the enrolled version of the bill. In
drafting the House Committee Substitute, the original Section 10 of the bill was
deleted in its entirety, but internal section references within the bill were not
renumbered to reflect this deletion. Therefore, in codifying this statute, the
internal section reference within Acts ch. 299, sec. 1, has been changed
pursuant to KRS 7.136(1).
