Oral Proponent Testimony
Clay Barker, Deputy Secretary of State, Office of the Kansas Secretary of State, spoke as a proponent of the bill. He stated HB2615 completes the transition away from printed and bound volumes of regulations to an online version, and primarily cleans up older statutes that referenced regulations that no longer exist. He said it also allows them to reduce their printing costs for the taxpayer, and results in fiscal savings. (Attachment 4)
