What is the Kentucky Whistleblower Act?

 

A: According to a ruling by the Kentucky Supreme Court, the purpose of the Kentucky Whistleblower Act "is to protect employees who possess knowledge of wrongdoing that is concealed or not publicly known, and who step forward to help uncover and disclose that information." The purpose of the Act is to protect "public employees who disclose wrongdoing." The Act "serves to discourage wrongdoing in government, and to protect those who make it public." That is the explanation and description of the Whistleblower Act by the Kentucky Supreme Court in the case of Workforce Development Cabinet v. Gaines, 276 S.W.3d 789 (Ky. 2008).
