The Kentucky Attorney General issued the following open records decisions last week:
1. 22-ORD-282 (In re: James Harrison/Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex)
Summary: The Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex violated the Open Records Act when it invoked KRS 61.872(5) to delay inspection of records without notifying the requester of the earliest date on which the records would be available. However, the Complex did not violate the Act when it denied requests for records that do not exist.
