Acts ch. 185 reorganized part of the Public Protection Cabinet to abolish the Kentucky Claims Commission, establish the Office of Claims and Appeals, and attach the Board of Claims, Board of Tax Appeals, and Crime Victims Compensation Board to the office. A reference to the Kentucky Claims Commission in this statute should have been changed to Board of Tax Appeals in that Act to conform, but was inadvertently omitted. The Reviser of Statutes has made the conforming correction under the authority of KRS 7.136(2).
