Legislative Research Commission Note (7/1/2005). Under the authority of KRS
7.136(1)(h), during codification a manifest clerical or typographical error has been corrected. In the second sentence of 2005 Ky. Acts ch. 122, sec. 5(2), the phrase “motorcycle safety education fund” has been corrected to read “motorcycle safety education program fund” as it is clear from the context that the word “program” was erroneously omitted in that sentence.
