HB 2721 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Modifying an exception to the Kansas Open Records Act concerning software programs for electronic data processing.

HB 2721 modifies Kansas's Open Records Act by removing a requirement that public agencies maintain a publicly accessible register describing their computer facility information and how data can be accessed through existing programs. This change specifically affects all Kansas public agencies that use electronic data processing systems, such as government departments and local offices handling digital records. The bill eliminates the existing obligation for agencies to document details like their computer system configurations and data availability formats in a public register. This is a technical adjustment to the law's exception for software programs, not a change to the core disclosure rules for public records.
