Legislative Research Commission Note (11/21/96). In 1974, the Reviser of Statutes renumbered KRS § 95.885 as KRS § 95.991. 1980 Ky. Acts ch. 188, sec. 88, a revisory act, mistakenly changed references in this statute from “KRS § 95.851 to KRS § 95.885″ to “KRS § 95.851 to KRS § 95.991.” Because these changes would appear to effect a substantive change in the law, they have been disregarded, and the references have been made to
read “KRS § 95.851 to KRS § 95.884 and KRS § 95.991” under KRS § 7.123(4) and 7.136(1)(a).
