Lawmakers wrestle with open records bill in Kansas
Kansas lawmakers face a choice after the Senate rewrote and approved a stricter open records bill. The Senate version imposes up to 500 dollar fines on agencies that violate the Kansas Open Records Act and requires each local body to appoint a FOI officer. House members must decide whether to accept the Senate version or form a conference committee to draft a final bill.
