Legislative Research Commission Note (6/8/2011). 2011 Ky. Acts ch. 2 sec. 77, directed that a new section of KRS § 441.420 to KRS § 441.450 be created for this statute. However, during codification, the Reviser of Statutes determined that this statute, which contains definitions for KRS § 441.420 to KRS § 441.450, was more appropriately numbered preceding that range of statutes, and created the new section as KRS
441.415 under the authority of KRS § 7.136.
