Disclosure of mental health information is permitted without consent when necessary to carry out a Kentucky statute or regulation. Further, disclosure is permitted when necessary to comply with official inquiries of U.S. public officials.
 
Disclosure Pursuant to Court Order:
Disclosure of mental health information is permitted when a court orders the disclosure in the context of a proceeding before it, provided that the court finds that the failure to disclose the information would be “contrary to the public interest.”
