Public Records
Kansas Open Record Act (KORA).
This page is in response to Senate Substitute for Substitute for House Bill 2864, which amended portions the KORA (K.S.A. 45-215 et seq.) in 2000. The current KORA makes it state policy that all but a specified listing of public agency records be made available to the public when requested. The act now requires that every governing body of every public agency designate a "freedom of information officer" (FIO) to:
1: Prepare and provide educational
materials and information concerning KORA;
2: Assist the public agency and the general public in resolving disputes
relating to the KORA;
3: Respond to
inquiries regarding the KORA; and
4: Create
a brochure for public display covering the rights of public information
requestors, the public agency responsibilities, and the agency's
procedures for inspecting and obtaining copies of public records.
