Legislative Research Commission Note (3/20/2017). 2017 Ky. Acts ch. 45 contained 13 sections. Sections 1 to 10 of that Act amended, repealed and reenacted, or created statutes relating to the industrial hemp research program found in the statutory range of KRS § 260.850 to KRS § 260.869. Sections 11 and 12 amended or created statutes in other KRS chapters, and Section 13 repealed some statutes within KRS § 260.850 to
260.869. The correct reference should have been to only Sections 1 to 10 of this Act, the relevant range affecting the industrial hemp research program, and in codification the Reviser of Statutes has codified that language in this statute accordingly under the authority of KRS § 7.136(1)(h) to correct manifest clerical or typographical errors.
