Legislative Research Commission Note (4/10/2014). 2014 Ky. Acts ch. 102, sec. 39 provides that the amendments to this statute made in 2014 Ky. Acts ch. 102, sec. 7,
shall apply retroactively beginning September 1, 2011.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/14/2000). In codifying the 2000 Regular Session changes to this statute, an existing reference to “subsection (2)” has been changed to “subsection (3)” under KRS § 7.136(1). 1994 Ky. Acts ch. 438, sec. 5, broke down the prior subsection (2) into subsections (2) and (3), and the reference to fiscal year remained in the resulting subsection (3), but the necessary adjustment to the reference in subsection (1) was inadvertently overlooked.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/14/92). This section was amended by two
1992 Acts. Where those Acts are not in conflict, they have been compiled together. Where a conflict exists, the Act which was last enacted by the General Assembly prevails, pursuant to KRS § 446.250.
1. For each track with a daily average live handle of one million two hundred thousand dollars ($1,200,000) or above, the tax shall be in the amount of three and one-half percent (3.5%) of all money wagered on live races at the track during the fiscal year; and

Legislative Research Commission Note (7/14/2000). In codifying the 2000 Regular Session changes to this statute, an existing reference to “subsection (2)” has been changed to “subsection (3)” under KRS § 7.136(1). 1994 Ky. Acts ch. 438, sec. 5, broke down the prior subsection (2) into subsections (2) and (3), and the reference to fiscal year remained in the resulting subsection (3), but the necessary adjustment to the reference in subsection (1) was inadvertently overlooked.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/14/92). This section was amended by two
1992 Acts. Where those Acts are not in conflict, they have been compiled together. Where a conflict exists, the Act which was last enacted by the General Assembly prevails, pursuant to KRS § 446.250.
