Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Commission  v.  Kentucky Open Government Coalition, Inc.

Issues presented include: (1) whether records concerning public business sent or received by public officials and employees are exempt from disclosure under the Open Records Act when they were sent, received, or stored on a nongovernmental email account or electronic device, such as a personal cell phone; (2) whether there is any distinction between emails and text messages concerning public business sent from, received by, or stored on nongovernmental systems; (3) whether, on remand, the Commission should have another chance to meet its burden concerning the unreasonableness of requiring government employees to search their private cell phones for text messages related to public work; and, (4) whether the Fish and Wildlife Commission willfully violated the Open Records Act.
