Section 2. Banned Hazardous Substances Dangerous to Public Health. If a hazardous substance is banned pursuant to federal law by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Cabinet may, if it deems the article to be dangerous to public health, quarantine the article pursuant to KRS 217.700.
Section 3. Variance between State and Federal Regulations. If a variance exists between the regulations adopted under KRS 217.650 to 217.710 and those adopted under 15 USC Sec. 1261-1276, compliance with the federal regulations shall be deemed compliance with the provisions of the administrative regulations adopted under KRS 217.650 to 217.710.
