Precedential Orders

Precedential orders may bind parties, establish policies, or interpret statutes or regulations in a way that applies against a person or company that was not a party to the original order. The KCC cannot treat an order as precedential unless the agency designates the order as precedential and makes the order available to the public. The following index is one way the KCC complies with the Rules and Regulations Filing Act and makes its precedential orders available to the public. The KCC does not summarize the contents of its orders, but links to the full text of precedential orders appear below.

Guidance Document Index

Guidance documents are records of general applicability that lack the force of law but state an agency’s current approach to or interpretation of law. Guidance documents may also contain general statements of policy that describe how and when an agency will exercise discretionary functions. The KCC must designate and maintain a public list of all guidance documents. Although a party to an adjudicatory proceeding may typically rely on guidance documents, the KCC can also act at variance with a guidance document if there is a reasonable justification for doing so.
