Book excerpt: K.S.A. 58-3924 does not by its terms mandate the disclosure of confidential vital statistic information to the state treasurer. However, K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 65-2422(a) and (e) allow the Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) to promulgate regulations, containing the mandated safeguards, authorizing the transfer of such vital statistic information to the state treasurer. To date, the secretary has not adopted such a regulation. Pursuant to K.S.A. 65-2418, the legislature has provided the secretary of KDHE with the authority and discretion to charge a fee for the transfer of vital statistic information. K.A.R. 28-17-6 implements that authority and sets forth the fees for such transfers. Unless the secretary of KDHE promulgates a specific exemption or has previously interpreted K.A.R. 28-17-6 to allow fees to be waived, the state treasurer must pay the fees set forth in that regulation. Should the state treasurer obtain vital statistic information, the limitations contained in the enabling authority protect the information from all uses not connected with the purposes for which it was obtained.
