(1) (2) (3) In any administrative proceeding brought under KRS 344.640 or 344.645 or any court proceeding arising therefrom, including actions described in KRS 344.240 or any civil action, the commission or the court, as the case may be, upon application of either party, and in its discretion, may: (a) Appoint an attorney for the person; or (b) Award a reasonable attorneys' fee and costs to the prevailing party to the same extent allowed in KRS 344.660, or both. The state shall not be liable in any event for fees and costs. The state through the commission's attorney or the Attorney General shall maintain any civil action on behalf of the complainant or aggrieved party. Where the parties to an alleged discriminatory housing practice have elected an administrative determination rather than a civil adjudication, the commission staff attorney shall represent the complainant or aggrieved party before the commission.
