Book excerpt: K.S.A. 45-216(a) requires public records to be open for inspection unless the record falls within one of the exemptions listed in K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 45-221 or other applicable law. K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 45-221(a)(4) allows closure of some records concerning public employees. Under this exception, personnel/employment records identifiable to an individual public employee may be closed, except that names, positions, salaries and lengths of service of public employees are required to be disclosed. Home addresses of public employees may be closed pursuant to K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 45-221(a)(4). Alternatively, a public employee's home address is "information of a personal nature," the public disclosure of which could constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, thus allowing closure under K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 45-221(a)(30). To the extent their conclusions conflict with those stated herein, Attorney General Opinions No. 89-106 and 90-136 are hereby withdrawn.
