Book excerpt: A public official may not deny access to a public record unless the disclosure is prohibited by federal or state law or the record fits one of the exceptions listed in K.S.A. 45-221. Public land records are public records which do not fit any of these exceptions, and are therefore open for inspection. A custodian who relies in good faith on a certification by a requestor that the information obtained from public records will not be used in a prohibited manner is not subject to criminal charges under K.S.A. 21-3914. Therefore, a public official may not deny a requestor access to records, which are otherwise open, when the appropriate certification is submitted pursuant to K.S.A. 45-220, and the official is acting in good faith.
