Ky. Rev. Stat. ch. 344 § 344.615
Release and evidentiary use of conciliation information
Operative Text
344.615 Release and evidentiary use of conciliation information. (1) Nothing said or done in the course of conciliation of a discriminatory housing practice may be made public or used as evidence in a subsequent proceeding under this chapter without the written consent of the respondent. (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the commission shall make available to the aggrieved person and the respondent, at any time, upon request following completion of the commission's investigation of a discriminatory housing practice, information derived from the investigation and any final investigative report relating to that investigation.
Kentucky Revised Statutes § 344.615 governs how information generated during the conciliation process for discriminatory housing practice complaints may—and may not—be shared or used. Statements and actions that occur during conciliation are confidential and cannot be disclosed publicly or introduced as evidence in later proceedings unless the respondent gives written consent. However, once the commission's investigation is complete, both the person who filed the complaint and the person accused of discrimination have the right to request and receive the investigation's findings and the final investigative report.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ky. Rev. Stat. § 344.615, property owners and managers who participate in conciliation proceedings can do so knowing that what is said or done during that process remains confidential unless they provide written consent to its release. Compliant operators generally avoid voluntarily disclosing conciliation communications and understand that their written consent is required before any such information can be used in subsequent proceedings. Operators also recognize that the final investigative report—separate from conciliation communications—may be released to either party upon request after the investigation concludes.

Ky. Rev. Stat. § 344.615 protects the confidentiality of conciliation discussions, meaning that statements made during that process generally cannot be used against either party in later proceedings without the respondent's written consent. As an aggrieved person, you have a distinct right under this provision to request the commission's investigative findings and the final investigative report once the investigation is complete. Tenants who believe their fair housing rights have been affected may wish to contact a tenant-rights organization or the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights to better understand how these information rights apply to their situation.
