KRS 61.8715: Legislative findings.

The General Assembly finds an essential relationship between the intent of this chapter

and that of KRS 171.410 to 171.740, dealing with the management of public records, and

of KRS 42.720 to 42.742, 45.253, 171.420, 186A.040, and 186A.285, dealing with th e

coordination of strategic planning for computerized information systems in state

government; and that to ensure the efficient administration of government and to provide

accountability of government activities, public agencies are required to manage and

maintain their records according to the requirements of these statutes. The General

Assembly further recognizes that while all government agency records are public records

for the purpose of their management, not all these records are required to be open t o

public access, as defined in this chapter, some being exempt under KRS 61.878.
