Kansas has conducted the permanent regulation approval process by paper since 1965. In an effort to improve the efficiency and transparency of Kansas rule and regulation making, Secretary Schwab has launched a regulation making reform initiative. This initiative aims to modernize the regulation making process for all state agencies, boards, and commissions. The completion of this initiative will improve state government by cutting the regulatory process burden, by reducing storage and paper costs, and by streamlining the process through digital submissions and collaboration. It will also create more transparency and accessibility to the general public.
