(a) All acts of the legislature that shall provide for their taking effect on publication in any newspaper or in the Kansas register shall be published in the Kansas register, which shall be deemed the official publication. Publication of the Kansas register may be in print or electronic form. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, all proclamations, orders, notices and advertisements authorized by any state officer shall be printed and published in the Kansas register. Payment for such publication shall be made by the state at the rates prescribed by law. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to: (1) Resolutions making propositions to amend the constitution; or (2) proclamations issued by the governor that are not required by law to be issued by the governor. All proclamations issued by the governor that are not published in the Kansas register shall be published on the official Kansas website.
(b)(1) For the purpose of informing the electors of the propositions to be voted on at the election thereon, the secretary of state shall cause resolutions making propositions to amend the constitution to be published in one newspaper in each county of the state where a newspaper is published, or, if no newspaper is published in a county, then in a Kansas-published newspaper of general circulation in each county once each week for three consecutive weeks immediately preceding the election at which the proposition is to be submitted.
(2) After such publication, the secretary of state shall certify the amount of moneys expended on such publication and shall transmit a copy of such certification to the director of accounts and reports. Upon receipt of such certification, the director of accounts and reports shall transfer an amount of moneys equal to such certified amounts from the state general fund to the information services fee fund of the secretary of state and shall transmit a notification of such transfer to the director of legislative research and the director of the budget.
