Effective: July 15, 2010 <br>History: Amended 2010 Ky. Acts ch. 147, sec. 1, effective July 15, 2010. -- Amended 2005 Ky. Acts ch. 85, sec. 107, effective June 20, 2005; and ch. 184, sec. 1, effective June 20, 2005. -- <br>Amended 1992 Ky. Acts ch. 403, sec. 1, effective July 14, 1992.-- Amended 1982 Ky. Acts <br>ch. 452, sec. 1, effective July 1, 1982 -- Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective <br>October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 4114h-1. Legislative Research Commission Note (6/20/2005). Under 2005 Ky. Acts ch. 184, sec. 18, changes in the names of agencies and officers that are made in bills confirming a <br>reorganization of the executive branch are to be codified only to the event those changes do <br>not conflict with other 2005 amendments. Accordingly, an amendment to this section in Acts <br>ch. 184 prevails over a name change made in Acts ch. 85. Legislative Research Commission Note (6/20/2005). 2005 Ky. Acts chs. 11, 85, 95, 97, 98, 99, 123, and 181 instruct the Reviser of Statutes to correct statutory references to agencies and <br>officers whose names have been changed in 2005 legislation confirming the reorganization of <br>the executive branch. Such a correction has been made in this section. ]]>
