Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/2010). 2010 Ky. Acts ch. 158, sec. 11, amended this section and added the phrase “the knowing violating of” in subsection
16(d). From an examination of the bill and of KRS § 501.020, “Definition of mental states,” it is apparent that the phrase used should have been “knowingly violating.” This change has been made by the Reviser of Statutes under the authority of KRS
7.136.

The individual shall not be permitted to purchase another license or exercise the privileges granted by a license until the citation or summons is resolved.

Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/2010). 2010 Ky. Acts ch. 158, sec. 11, amended this section and added the phrase “the knowing violating of” in subsection
16(d). From an examination of the bill and of KRS § 501.020, “Definition of mental states,” it is apparent that the phrase used should have been “knowingly violating.” This change has been made by the Reviser of Statutes under the authority of KRS
7.136.
