Book excerpt: State and local authorities may disclose vital statistics only as permitted by K.S.A. 65-2422. That statute generally limits disclosure of such information regarding identifiable persons to applicants who have a direct - interest in the matter and who require the information to determine personal or property rights, but does not permit disclosure of such information for the purposes of general genealogical information or research. The limitations imposed by K.S.A. 65-2422 are applicable to state employees and officers and to persons who possess, store or in any way handle vital statistics records under contract with the state. The limitations do not distinguish between vital statistics collected before or after 1911 and we can perceive no basis for drawing such a distinction.
