Legislative Research Commission Note (7/12/2006). When this statute was amended in 2006 Ky. Acts ch. 189, sec. 1, the phrase "$3,968,300 in 2022-2023" was inadvertently omitted from subsection (1)(c). This phrase was part of the existing language of the statute at the time of the amendment, and the Reviser of Statutes has restored the omitted material in accordance with KRS 446.280.
