Kentucky Revised Statutes §61.870 through §61.884 discuss the procedures for filing and handling an Open Records Request, which records are open for inspection, and which records are exempt from inspection. Cabinet for Economic Development records which are exempt from release to the general public for inspection under the Kentucky Open Records Act include, but are not limited to, records confidentially disclosed to the Cabinet generally recognized as confidential or proprietary, which are compiled and maintained in conjunction with an application for or the administration of a loan or grant, as described in KRS 61.878(1)(c)(2)(a), as well as records confidentially disclosed to an agency or required by an agency to be disclosed to it, generally recognized as confidential or proprietary, which are compiled and maintained in conjunction with an application for or the administration of assessments, incentives, inducements, and tax credits as described in KRS Chapter 154, as described in KRS 61.878(1)(c)(2)(b).
