The Reviser of Statutes has corrected a manifest clerical or typographical error in subsection (1) of this statute from the way it appeared in 2008 Ky. Acts ch. 178, sec. 12. In that Act, a reference to "KRS 154.20-10" should have read "KRS 154.20-010," which established the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority. This change has been made under the authority of KRS 7.136(1)(h).
