Acts ch. 96, sec. 3, effective June 26, 2007. <br>Legislative Research Commission Note (6/26/2007) 2007 Ky. Acts ch. 96 (2007 House <br>Bill 287) "established" KRS Chapter 39G and created new sections thereof. <br>However, at the time that House Bill 287 was enacted another KRS Chapter 39G was <br>already in existence. The Reviser of Statutes determined that the newly created <br>sections would be more appropriately placed in KRS Chapter 39A and has placed <br>Sections 1 to 9 of Acts ch. 96 within KRS Chapter 39A, under the authority of KRS <br>7.136(1)(a). <br><br>
