On November 4, 2005, the Concerned Members made a formal written request of the Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) for the
names and contact information of its members and officers.
On November 14th, attorneys from the Commerce Cabinet responded on behalf of the KHS and denied the information to the
Concerned Members.
On November 18th, the Concerned Members petitioned the Attorney General for the Commonwealth for a legal opinion regarding
the denial.
On February 13, 2006, the Attorney General issued a decision upholding the right of the Concerned Members to access the
names of KHS members. The AG stated the KHS had acted improperly in denying the names to Concerned Members. The AG also affirmed
the right of the KHS not to disclose personal contact information which it deemed private.
