This just in...the Kansas Legislature approved a measure this week that will establish the Kansas Enterprise Electronic Preservation system (KEEP), a preservation process for maintaining the authenticity of state electronic records. Supporters of House Bill 2195 say it will give citizens the capability to actually access government records online and have them authenticated at a level that would be acceptable in a court of law.
My friend Rep. Mike Burgess (R-Topeka) says, “This legislation is cutting-edge and will help establish a digital repository for Kansas that meets national and professional standards.”
The House Committee on Government Efficiency and Fiscal Oversight introduced House Bill 2195. During testimony, supporters stressed the need to preserving and providing access to authentic electronic government records.
The bill now goes to the Governor for his consideration.
I really appreciate the intention behind this bill -- better preservation of records and transparency in government. There's too much hide-and-seek in government, and the PEOPLE should be able to better see behind the curtains.
