Where is the petition filed for a grievance with the Department?

  1. Jefferson Circuit Court

  2. Franklin Circuit Court

  3. State Supreme Court

  4. Local County Court

The correct answer is: Franklin Circuit Court

The petition for a grievance with the Department is filed in Franklin Circuit Court because this court has jurisdiction over administrative matters involving state agencies, including grievances related to departmental actions or regulations. Franklin Circuit Court serves as the primary venue for legal actions against state officials or agencies in Kentucky, making it the appropriate choice for filing grievances regarding the Department’s decisions or actions. The other options are not suitable for this context. Jefferson Circuit Court typically handles cases within Jefferson County and may not have jurisdiction over state administrative grievances. The State Supreme Court generally hears appeals from lower courts and does not handle initial petitions for grievances. Local County Court deals with various local matters but does not have the authority to hear grievances against state departments, which must be addressed in a court that specifically handles administrative cases, such as the Franklin Circuit Court.
