§ 43.020 MISUSE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
   (A)   Closed meetings. If an exception to the Open Meetings Act applies, and the city goes into closed (executive) session to conduct the meeting pursuant to KRS 61.815, all attendees within the closed meeting shall refrain from discussing any subject other than what was publicly announced prior to convening the closed session, and there shall be no public dissemination of the closed meeting discussion other than when formal action is taken in an open meeting, and only the minimal information needed to explain the formal action taken. Nothing in this section shall preclude any officer to argue or debate in the public meeting for or against the matter requiring formal action.
   (B)   An officer, board member, employee, or contractor may not use confidential information obtained formally or informally as part of his or her work for the city or due to his or her position with the city for his or her own benefit or for the benefit or disadvantage of any other person or entity, or make such information available in a manner where it would be reasonably foreseeable that a person or entity would benefit from it or be harmed by it.
