All municipalities in any county of this Commonwealth in which county there is located a <br>city of the first class or a consolidated local government are hereby made subject to the <br>provisions of KRS 212.350 to 212.620, and it shall be the duty of the board created in <br>KRS 212.350 to make and enforce all reasonable regulations controlling or affecting the <br>health of citizens and residents of said county, including all municipalities therein, in <br>conformity with the provisions of KRS 212.350 to 212.620 and the laws of the <br>Commonwealth of Kentucky, the rules and regulations of the Cabinet for Health and <br>Family Services of Kentucky, and the ordinances of said municipalities now or hereafter <br>in effect and not in conflict with the provisions of KRS 212.350 to 212.620. Such <br>regulations shall, as nearly as may be practicable, be uniform throughout the county, both <br>within and without the said municipalities; provided, however, that nothing contained in <br>this section shall be construed to prevent the board from making specific health <br>regulations applying only to such section or sections of said county as may be deemed to <br>require special treatment.
