This bill mandates that the offices of state officers in Kansas, including the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, state treasurer, and commissioner of insurance, maintain comprehensive records of all travel locations and expenses incurred by these officers that are paid or reimbursed by the state during each fiscal year. Furthermore, these offices are required to provide this information to the public upon request.
Additionally, the bill specifies that existing laws, such as K.S.A. 45-221, which may restrict the disclosure of records related to state officers, will not apply to the travel records mandated by this legislation. This ensures greater transparency regarding the travel expenses of state officials. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
