Kansas: public records online-to fee or not to fee, that is the question
The Information Network of Kansas on Thursday postponed consideration of a contract with the state Supreme Court to provide court records over the Internet for a fee.

“We know that the court and Johnson County are fighting over this, and we don’t want to get in the middle,” said Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh, an Information Network board member.

The fight broadened Thursday to include Shawnee County, which includes Topeka.

Under the state’s plan, residents could go to a courthouse to get free access to district court records or pay $2 for each Internet records search from a home computer.

The Supreme Court would allow online electronic access to court records only through a proposed contract with Information Network of Kansas, in effect shutting down county Web sites across the state.
