Kansas Rules & Regulations–Economic Impact Statement for the Division of the Budget

In May 2026, the State of Kansas announced that the regulation modernization initiative launched by the Kansas Secretary of State is now live statewide. This milestone marks the completion of the first-ever overhaul of the state’s regulatory process.

In 2025, the Secretary of State contracted with Esper, a regulatory management software company, to modernize the regulation-making process.

Prior to this initiative, state government relied on a decades-old, paper-based system that was inefficient and burdensome. Missing pages, excessive paper waste, and human error plagued the old process, limiting efficiency and preventing the state from keeping pace with today’s digital age. The regulatory approval process also lacked transparency for the public and stakeholders.

All prior paper forms are now available within this new system, including the Economic Impact State that is reviewed and approved by the Division of the Budget.
