Effective: July 13, 2004
History: Created 2004 Ky. Acts ch. 102, sec. 5, effective July 13, 2004.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/14/2023). 2004 Ky. Acts ch. 102, sec. 5, which created this statute, contained a reference in subsection (2) to “subsection (3)(j) of Section 4 of this Act.” Although Section 4 of the Act amended KRS
214.645, the reference was erroneously codified as “KRS § 215.645(3)(j)” instead of “KRS § 214.645(3)(j)” This manifest clerical or typographical error has been corrected under the authority of KRS § 7.136.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/2008). 2008 Ky. Acts ch. 150, sec. 1, inserted an additional paragraph into KRS § 214.181(5) and changed the existing paragraph (c) to paragraph (d), but that Act failed to include a conforming amendment to change the reference to that paragraph in subsection (1) of this statute. Under KRS § 7.136(1)(e), that change has now been made.
214.625(5)(c), the identity of a person upon whom has been conducted a test to detect human immunodeficiency virus infection shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
