Tracy Ross speaks with Amye Besenhaver about Kentucky House Bill 312.
House Bill 312 was introduced in the Kentucky House of Representatives on February 2, 2021. The bill has since been approved by both the House and Senate and has been delivered to Governor Andy Beshear as of March 15. Besenhaver explains three major issues with the bill: Essentially, what [the bill] will do now is permit the public to use a standardized open request form. Previously, the standard for making an open record request was minimal, meaning it was very user-friendly. It was designed to facilitate the public s ability to use that. Going forward, it will be a form.that requires you to provide more information, she explains.
