Budget & Taxes (Government Transparency)

SB 362 requires Kansas state officers - including the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, and insurance commissioner - to maintain detailed records of all state-paid or reimbursed travel locations and expenses for each fiscal year. These records must be made available to the public upon request, overriding any existing laws that might restrict disclosure of such information. The bill directly affects state officers' offices by mandating transparent record-keeping and public access to travel spending data. It focuses on concrete policy changes: standardized documentation and immediate public access, without altering travel policies or budgets.
