Effective: January 1, 2016

History: Repealed and reenacted 2015 Ky. Acts ch. 102, sec. 11, effective January 1, 2016. -- Created 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 99, sec. 5, effective July 15, 1996. Legislative Research Commission Note (7/15/96; modified 1/7/98). The KRS references contained in subsections (1) and (3) of this statute have been codified as those references were enacted in 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 99 (Senate Bill 105), sec. 5, but it appears that these statute references may be erroneous. Subsection (1) contained a reference to Section 1 of the Act (KRS 403.725), but from context it appears that Section 4 of the Act (KRS 403.7521) may have been intended; subsection (3) contained a reference to Section 4 of the Act (KRS 403.7521), but from context it appears that Section 2 of the Act (KRS 403.750) may have been intended. (Modified to correct a mistaken subsection reference.)
