Kansas Open Records Act and Sedgwick County

The Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215, et seq.) provides that "each governing body of a public agency in Kansas shall designate a local freedom of information officer,"

Sedgwick County has designated its Freedom of Information Officer to simplify the process of accessing records kept by Sedgwick County.
