Acts ch. 136, sec. 6 had a citation to "Sections 6 to 11 of this Act" in the introductory clause and subsection (13) of this statute, it is clear that "Sections 6 [this statute] to 10 [codified as KRS 205.5625] of this Act" was intended, since there was no Section 11 in the enacted version. This manifest clerical or typographical error has been corrected in codification pursuant to KRS 7.136(1)(h).
