Bill Summary

AN ACT concerning the Kansas open records act (KORA); relating to public records; continuing in existence certain exceptions to the disclosure thereof; amending K.S.A. 8-2,158, 40-221b and 41-353 and K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 22a-243, 45-229 and 75-782 and repealing the existing sections.

AI Summary

This bill continues certain exceptions to the disclosure of public records under the Kansas Open Records Act (KORA), which is a law that generally requires government records to be accessible to the public. Specifically, it extends the confidentiality of emergency contact information provided by drivers, the confidentiality of information gathered by the state child death review board, and the confidentiality of records related to fulfillment houses shipping alcoholic liquor. It also makes permanent the confidentiality of information obtained by elder and dependent adult abuse multidisciplinary teams, which previously had an expiration date. The bill amends existing laws to remove the expiration dates on these specific exceptions, ensuring they remain in effect beyond their original sunset clauses.
