Effective:July 15, 1996
History: Created 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 99, sec. 5, effective July 15, 1996.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/96; modified 1/7/98). The KRS
references contained in subsections (1) and (3) of this statute have been
codified as those references were enacted in 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 99 (Senate Bill
105), sec. 5, but it appears that these statute references may be erroneous.
Subsection (1) contained a reference to Section 1 of the Act (KRS 403.725), but
from context it appears that Section 4 of the Act (KRS 403.7521) may have
been intended; subsection (3) contained a reference to Section 4 of the Act
(KRS 403.7521), but from context it appears that Section 2 of the Act (KRS
403.750) may have been intended. (Modified to correct a mistaken subsection
reference.)
