Legislative Research Commission Note (3/16/2011). As created by 2011 Ky. Acts ch.
75, sec. 1, this statute contained a reference to the "Education and Workforce
Cabinet" in subsection (2). However, the entity created by Executive Order 2008530, which was confirmed by the General Assembly in 2009 Ky. Acts ch. 11, is the
Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. This manifest clerical or
typographical error and a manifest grammatical error in subsection (4) have been
corrected in codification by the Reviser of Statutes pursuant to KRS 7.136.
