Book excerpt: The terms defined in K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 77-415(4) (as amended by section 1 of 1982 House Bill No. 2712) have the meanings ascribed thereto only when such terms are used in the Rules and Regulations Filing Act (K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 77-415 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., and amendments thereto), except where it is clear that the use of such terms in other statutes is intended by the legislature to convey such meanings. Thus, plans, bulletins, policy manuals and other documents issued by state agencies are not rules and regulations under the filing act, unless they meet the definitional criteria of "rule and regulation" in K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 77-415(4) (as amended). However, unless otherwise specifically provided by statute, such plans, bulletins, policy manuals and other documents which satisfy these definitional criteria do not have the force and effect of law, unless they are promulgated as rules and regulations pursuant to the filing act and filed with the Office of the Revisor of Statutes. Unless altered by legislative enactment, the procedure prescribed in the filing act for legislative oversight and review of rules and regulations may not be extended so as to include plans, bulletins, policy manuals and other documents of state agencies which have not been promulgated in compliance with the filing act.
