Book excerpt: Subject to certain exceptions, disclosure of criminal investigation records is not required by the Kansas Open Records Act, pursuant to L. 1984, ch. 282, section 4(a)(1). One such exception involves rosters of inmates in jails or correctional facilities [L. 1984, ch. 187, section 3(b)], leaving such rosters subject to the general provisions of the act which require records to be open. Inmate rosters are required by statute to be kept (K.S.A. 19-1904), and the practice of failing to record the names of persons arrested and placed in jail would constitute a violation of both this statute and, indirectly, the open records act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-1904, 2l-250la, L. 1984, ch. 187, sections 3, 8; L. 1984, ch. 282, section 4.
