Legislative Research Commission Note (7/13/90). 1990 Ky. Acts ch. 348, secs. 1 and 2 were enacted to be placed within the range of KRS § 18A.228 to KRS § 18A.2284. However, because of space limitations within this range, these two sections were codified as KRS § 18A.2285 and KRS § 18A.2286, respectively. Accordingly, the prior reference within this section to the former end section of the range has been changed by the Reviser of Statutes to read KRS § 18A.2286, pursuant to his authority under KRS § 7.136.
