Kansas Statutes Chapter 77. Statutes; Administrative Rules and Regulations and Procedure § 77-429. Authentication of regulations by attorney general and secretary of state; rules and regulations database; duties of the secretary of state

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) Before any Kansas administrative regulation is published by the secretary of state, such regulation shall be examined and compared by the attorney general and the secretary of state, and if approved for publication, and otherwise comply  1 with the terms of this act, the secretary shall so certify. After such authentication, such regulation shall be deemed and held to be “Kansas administrative regulations” and evidence in all courts having jurisdiction in the state. Such authentication shall accompany each electronic or printed copy of Kansas administrative regulations.

(b)(1) The secretary of state shall maintain a searchable database containing all of the current Kansas administrative regulations. The database shall be constructed in such a manner that any person accessing or using such database shall be able to search for any rule and regulation based upon the number or subject matter of the rule and regulation or by keyword search. The initial search shall return a list of all rules and regulations that contain the initial search term.

(2) Using any rule and regulation containing the initial search term as an entry point into the database, the database shall permit the person using such database to:

(A) View all occurrences of the search term in the rule and regulation retrieved; and

(B) using the initially retrieved rule and regulation as an entry point into the database's hierarchy, navigate to each rule and regulation that follows or precedes the initial rule and regulation.
