The State Board of Accountancy is not a quasi-judicial body excluded from the definition of “public agency” found in this section, since otherwise any administrative agency which occasionally held hearings on certain matters could exempt itself from the open meetings statutes and, moreover, there would be no need for the exception to the open meeting requirement found in KRS 61.810(6) (now (1)(f)), because any agency which held any disciplinary hearings would be quasi-judicial; accordingly, the board violated the open meeting laws by conducting its final deliberations on the question of whether to censure an accountant in a closed session. Stinson v. State Bd. of Accountancy, 625 S.W.2d 589, 1981 Ky. App. LEXIS 304 (Ky. Ct. App. 1981).
