10  AN ACT concerning publication of documents in Kansas register; relating
11    to duties of secretary of state; amending K.S.A. 75-431 and repealing
12    the existing section.
13
14  Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
15    Section 1.  K.S.A. 75-431 is hereby amended to read as follows: 75-
16  431. (a) Each agency shall file materials for publication in the Kansas
17  register by delivering to the office of the secretary of state during normal
18  working hours two certified copies of the document to be filed, except
19  that rules and regulations required to be filed in the office of the secretary
20  of state under the provisions of article 4 of chapter 77 of the Kansas
21  Statutes Annotated shall be filed in triplicate. On receipt of a document
22  required by this act to be published in the register, the secretary of state
23  shall note the day and hour of filing on the certified copies. One certified
24  copy of each filed document shall be maintained in original form or on
25  microfilm in a permanent register in the office of the secretary of state
26  and, on filing, shall be made available immediately for public inspection
27  during regular business hours by the secretary of state for six months after
28  the publication of the document in the Kansas register.
29    (b)  If there is a conflict, the official text of a rule and regulation is
30  the text on file with the secretary of state for six months after publication
31  of the document in the Kansas register, and not the text published in the
32  register or on file with the issuing agency. After such period of six months
33  the official text is the text published in the register.
34    (c)  The secretary of state is hereby authorized to adopt rules and
35  regulations necessary to the effective administration of this act. Such rules
36  and regulations may include, but are not limited to, rules prescribing
37  paper size and the format of documents required to be published by this
38  act. The secretary of state may refuse to accept for filing and publication
39  any document that does not substantially conform to the promulgated
40  rules and regulations.
41    (d)  Upon otherwise complying with the provisions of this section, the
42  secretary of state may maintain on microfilm the files of information re-
43  quired by this act to be published in the register and, after microfilming,
SB 267--Am.
                                     

 1  destroy the original copies of all information submitted for publication.
 2    Sec. 2.  K.S.A. 75-431 is hereby repealed.
 3    Sec. 3.  This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
 4  publication in the statute book.
