Kansas Lottery Act, K.S.A. 76-8701 et seq.

The Kansas Constitution was amended in 1986 to allow the Kansas legislature to provide for a State-owned and operated lottery (Article 15, section 3b.)  In response, the legislature enacted the Kansas Lottery Act, K.S.A. 74-8701 et seq.  The act created the Kansas Lottery, and empowered it to establish and operate a state lottery, the sale of lottery tickets, and the game of keno.  

The act was amended in 2007 by Senate Bill 66 to add operation of lottery gaming facilities (casinos) and racetrack gaming facilities (racinos) to the Kansas Lottery’s jurisdiction.  Senate Bill 66 also created the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, which was made part of and supplemental to the Kansas Lottery Act, to regulate casinos and racinos.  

The main distinction between the Lottery Act and the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, as it relates to casinos and racinos, is that the Lottery Act governs operation of casinos and racinos and ownership of the games by the Kansas Lottery.  The Kansas Expanded Lottery Act governs the regulation of casinos and racinos by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission.

The Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) is followed by the commission whenever three or more of its members meet to discuss agency business.  This primarily occurs during regularly scheduled monthly commission meetings.

Below is a link to KOMA and a link for additional information from the Kansas Attorney General's website.

The Kansas Administrative Procedures Act (KAPA) is followed whenever the agency takes some action that affects a right held by a person or an organization and that person or organization wants to challenge the agency action. For example, if a casino employee holding an occupational license violates a regulation, the KRGC will issue a Notice of Violation (NOV) that sets forth the facts of the violation and the sanctions that can be levied,  Because those sanctions that can be levied.  Because those sanctions include the possibility that the licensee's license will be terminated or suspend, the licensee has the right to a hearing conducted in accordance with KAPA requirements.
