Dear Senator Bowers:
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Note for SB 362 by Senator Shallenburger
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 362 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 362 would require each state officer’s agency to maintain a full and complete record of
information regarding all travel locations and expenses of each state officer that were paid or
reimbursed by the state each fiscal year. Each agency of the state office would be required to
provide travel location and expense records upon request by a member of the public. State officers
would include the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State
Treasurer, and Commissioner of Insurance. The provisions of the bill would not apply to certain
confidential information, as outlined in KSA 45-221.
The Division of the Budget estimates that the enactment of the bill would have no fiscal
effect. The agencies of the listed state officers currently as standard practice keep most of the
required information in the state’s
central accounting system. Agencies may have to alter internal
recordkeeping to make sure the data points required by the bill are available upon request, but
likely would be able to meet the requirements of the bill with existing staff and budget.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
