Legislative Research Commission Note (4/24/2008). A manifest clerical or typographical error in subsection (3) of this statute has been corrected in codification by the Reviser of Statutes under the authority of KRS § 7.136(1)(h).
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/12/2006). This section was amended in
2006 Ky. Acts ch. 218. In that same session, 2006 Ky. Acts ch. 247, sec. 38, required that all sections of KRS Chapters 287, 288, 290, 291, 294, 366, 366A, and 368 be renumbered as sections of a single KRS chapter entitled the “Kentucky Financial Services Code.” Therefore, the Statute Reviser, acting under KRS § 7.136(1), has changed the number of this section and codified it as a section of KRS Chapter 286. In addition, a KRS reference has been adjusted to conform with the renumbering.
