Annotation for Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 61.878

Circuit court did not err finding that the analysis of internal affairs (IA) documents under the Kentucky Open Records Act did not end once the documents had been classified under the preliminary exception of Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 61.878(i) and (j) as the files did not maintain an indefinite preliminary status. However, that same statutory authority provided the state police with a limited authority to withhold portions of the IA file concerning any disciplinary recommendations or opinions not relied upon by the Commissioner in his final decision.
