KRS 446.130: Kentucky Revised Statutes speak for themselves -- Conflicts --

Ambiguities.

The Kentucky Revised Statutes of 1942 are intended to speak for themselves, and all

sections of the Kentucky Revised Statutes of 1942 shall be considered to speak as of the

same date, except that in cases of conflict between two (2) or more sections or of a latent

or patent ambiguity in a section, reference may be had to the Acts of the General

Assembly from which the sections are indicated to have been derived, for the purpose of

applying the rules of construction relating to repeal by implication or for the purpose of

resolving the ambiguity. Like reference may be had to any special acts or charters granted

by the General Assembly prior to the adoption of the present Constitution, for the like

purpose.
