Are Court Records Public in Henderson County?

Yes. The Kentucky Open Records Act (KORA) guarantees the rights of residents of the state to inspect and make copies of government records, including court records.

Nonetheless, KORA restricts certain records from public disclosure to protect sensitive documents and personal privacy. For instance, court-related documents that may constitute an unjustified invasion of privacy, valuable company data, and information concerning active law enforcement agencies may be redacted or exempted from public view. Preliminary drafts, notes, and records are also exempted from public disclosure by federal or state statutes.
