A version of the Federal Freedom of Information act, the Kansas Open Records act is designed to provide members of the public access to a variety of kinds of records. The term Kansas public records, though, is a bit limited. Throughout the state, only statues, regulations, policies, minutes and records of open meetings, salaries of public officials, and the budgetary records of certain agencies are deemed to be public records. Items like birth, marriage, death, divorce, criminal, and court records are not considered to be public records in the state of Kansas, and thus are not available to individuals who cannot prove they don't have a direct interest in the record itself.

In order to gain access to any Kansas public record, you'll need to contact the concerned agency's information officer. Have a complete description of the record you seek, and he or she will help you determine if it is currently available.
