Pursuant to KRS 446.250, the amendment in Chapter 445, Section 42, prevails as the later enactment. Legislative Research Commission Note (1982). This section was amended in 1982 Acts Chapter 445, which contains the following language in Section 45 of that Act: "This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1982." The Ky.
