80 1997 Session Laws of Kansas Ch. 27
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of
Kansas:
Section 1. K.S.A. 75-431 is hereby amended to read as follows:
75-
431. (a) Each agency shall file materials for publication in the
Kansas
register by delivering to the office of the secretary of state
during normal
working hours two certified copies of the document to be filed,
except
that rules and regulations required to be filed in the office of
the secretary
of state under the provisions of article 4 of chapter 77 of the
Kansas
Statutes Annotated shall be filed in triplicate. On receipt of a
document
required by this act to be published in the register, the secretary
of state
shall note the day and hour of filing on the certified copies. One
certified
copy of each filed document shall be maintained in original form
or on by the secretary of state
for six months after
microfilm in a permanent register in the office of the secretary of
state
and, on filing, shall be made available immediately for public
inspection
during regular business hours
the publication of the document in the Kansas register.
(b) If there is a conflict, the official text of a rule and
regulation is
the text on file with the secretary of state, and
not the text published in
the register or on file with the issuing agency.
(c) The secretary of state is hereby authorized to adopt rules
and
regulations necessary to the effective administration of this act.
Such rules
and regulations may include, but are not limited to, rules
prescribing
paper size and the format of documents required to be published by
this
act. The secretary of state may refuse to accept for filing and
publication
any document that does not substantially conform to the
promulgated
rules and regulations.
(d) Upon otherwise complying with the provisions of this
section, the
secretary of state may maintain on microfilm the files of
information re-
quired by this act to be published in the register and, after
microfilming,
destroy the original copies of all information submitted for
publication.
Sec. 2. K.S.A. 75-431 is hereby repealed.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and
