Effective: July 14, 2018 History: Created 2018 Ky. Acts ch. 107, sec. 82, effective July 14, 2018. Legislative Research Commission Note (12/13/2018). On December 13, 2018, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that the passage of 2018 SB 151 (2018 Ky. Acts ch. 107), did not comply with the three-readings rule of Kentucky Constitution Section 46 and that the legislation is, therefore, constitutionally invalid and declared void. This statute was created in Section 82 of that Act.
