Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1984 Supp 8-1341a provides that speeding convictions for traveling not more than 10 miles per hour in excess of the 55 miles per hour speed limit shall not be part of the public record and shall not be considered by any insurance company in establishing rates for an automobile liability insurance policy or cancelling such coverage. However, the statute does not have the effect of closing any other records concerning arrests, issuance of citations or judicial proceedings. While K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 74-2012(b)(1) and (2) permit the release of information by the division of vehicles or a law enforcement agency to insurers who are processing applications for, or renewing or cancelling, motor vehicle liability insurance policies, such a release involves only information in the public record. As information concerning the convictions specified in K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 8-1341a is not part of the public record, it is not subject to being released under the provisions of K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 74-2012.
