Acts ch. 45 replaced and restructured the industrial hemp program which was codified in 2001 as KRS 260.850 to 260.869. Section 1 of that Act (this statute) contains definitions for that range of statutes, and in the drafting of that section, "As used in KRS 260.850 to 260.869:" concerning the application of the defined terms in that section was changed to read, "As used in Sections 1 to 13 of this Act:". Sections 1 to 10 of that Act contained the restructured sections concerning the research program, and Sections 11, 12, and 13 amended or created statutes in other KRS chapters and repealed some statutes contained within the range of KRS 260.850 to 260.869. It is clear from the context that retaining the original reference to "KRS 260.850 to 260.869" in this statute was necessary and proper, and the Reviser of Statutes has corrected this manifest clerical or typographical error under the authority of KRS 7.136(1)(h).
