and shall contain underlining of all material in the section.
Bills repealing a section of the statutes shall list the statute number and
headnote.
(a) Bills repealing and reenacting a section of the statutes without change
from the text of that statute as it read at the time of its repeal shall begin

new section of KRS Chapter ---", if appropriate) to read as follows:" and
shall not contain underlining of the reenacted text.
(b) Bills repealing and reenacting a section of the statutes with changes from
the text of that statute as it read at the time of its repeal shall begin with

Sections of a bill not intended to be codified shall begin simply with the section
number within the bill without any further introductory phrase, and the text of

necessary, the following material shall not be codified, in conformity with KRS
7.131(3):
(a) Repealers and repeals of repealers;
