(A) If a person enforces this chapter pursuant to this section, he or she shall begin enforcement under this division (A) before proceeding to enforcement under KRS 61.880(2). Each public agency, upon any request for records made under this chapter, shall determine within five days (excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) after the receipt of any request whether to comply with the request and shall notify in writing the person making the request within the five-day period of its decision. Any agency response denying, in whole or in part, inspection of any record shall include a statement of the specific exception authorizing the withholding of the record and a brief explanation of how the exception applies to the record withheld. The response shall be issued by the official custodian or under his or her authority and shall constitute final agency action.
(KRS 61.880(1))
(B) If the requesting party wants the Attorney General to review the denial of a request for inspection of a public record, he or she shall precede under the provisions of KRS 61.880 and 61.882. Upon the Attorney General’s request, the agency will provide additional documentation.
(C) A party shall have 30 days from the day that the Attorney General renders his or her decision to appeal the decision. An appeal brought within the 30-day time limit shall be treated as if it were an action brought under KRS 61.882. If an appeal is not filed within the 30-day time limit, the Attorney General’s decision shall have the force and effect of law and shall be enforceable in the Circuit Court of the county where the public agency has its principal place of business or the Circuit Court of the county where the public agency is maintained.
