Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning the Kansas open records act; relating to permissible exceptions to disclosure; providing an exception to KORA that authorizes certain retired KPERS members to have identifying information restricted from public websites that identify home addresses or home ownership; amending K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 45-221 and repealing the existing section.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Kansas Open Records Act (KORA) to create an exception allowing certain retired members of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS) to restrict their identifying information from public websites that display home addresses or home ownership details. Specifically, it adds a provision to K.S.A. 45-221, which lists exemptions from public disclosure under KORA, to include individuals who have retired from specific public service positions, such as law enforcement officers, judges, attorneys, and other listed public officials, and who are KPERS members. These individuals can request that their identifying information be removed from public websites that list home addresses or ownership, and public agencies must comply within 10 business days. This restriction will last for five years, after which the individual can reapply. The bill also repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 45-221 that it amends, meaning this new provision will be the operative law.
