In 96-ORD-127, the Attorney General's office determined that the Murray-Calloway County Animal Shelter was not a public agency for open records purposes because it did not receive 25% or more of its funds from state or local authority. This decision is cited in 09-ORD-008 to support the conclusion that the Pike County Humane Society, which similarly does not receive 25% or more of its funds from state or local authority, is also not a public agency under the Open Records Act.
96-ORD-127 was Followed by 09-ORD-008
