Section 14.   The appointments made by executive orders under KRS 150.022 2 
before the effective date of this Act, of commissioners to represent the Second, Third, 3

Section 15.   Whereas the orderly administration of the Department of Fish and 13

exist, and this Act takes effect upon its passage and approval by the Governor or upon its 18 
otherwise becoming a law. 19
