Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 46-1101 gives the legislative post auditor access to otherwise confidential or private records; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 46-1106 requires the post auditor to comply with any "duty of confidentiality imposed by law." The Kansas open records act (KORA), K.S.A. 45-215 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., requires public records to be disclosed upon request unless a law permits or requires closure of a specific public record. The record in question is a contract which was in part made by a public agency. It therefore meets the definition of a public record, and is subject to the KORA. The only provision we have located that permits or requires closure of the questioned portions of the public record is in the contract itself. Public records may not be closed by contract unless a law permits or requires closure of the specific record. As no such law has been located, with regard to the specific portions of the record in question, it is our opinion that a contractual term attempting to close this information is void as against stated public policy. Such a term must therefore be severed from the otherwise legal portions of the agreement, and disclosure of the questioned portions of the record may occur. Disclosure of other records or matters must be examined on a case by case basis to determine if there is a legal duty to disclose such records or matters. Absent a mandatory disclosure requirement, an agreement not to disclose creates a duty which post audit must respect, pursuant to K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 46-1106 (g).

Book excerpt: The legislature is authorized pursuant to article 4, section 3 of the Kansas constitution to prescribe the grounds and procedures for recall of elected public officials. The procedure set forth by the legislature obligates the county or district attorney to determine the sufficiency of the grounds asserted in a petition seeking the recall of a local officer. The county or district attorney does not determine whether the local officer should be subject to recall. Rather, the county or district attorney determines whether the grounds are set forth with sufficient particularity so as to permit the local officer an opportunity to prepare a statement in justification of the officer's conduct in office.

Such required legislative approval relates to "creation" of a port authority, i.̲e̲.̲ activation of a port authority by ordinance or resolution. K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 12-3401(e).

Book excerpt: Acceptance of a post audit performance report by the legislative post audit committee (LPAC) represents consent by that committee to the cessation or completion of audit procedures. While each factual situation concerning liability must be examined independently, the Kansas tort claims act (KTCA), set forth at K.S.A. 75-6101 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., and article 2, section 22 of the Kansas constitution, afford certain immunity to members of the LPAC for actions involved in accepting such reports. It is unlikely that liability would attach to the LPAC's acceptance of a completed report absent a legal duty to change the report or order further inquiries.
