Say you've heard that there is a state regulation regarding "on-call time" and the number of hours you can work. At least that's what you've been told. Do you want to see if that's true? Sure you do!
The easiest way to find a certain regulation is to obtain the regulation number. How do you do that? Consider which agency would regulate the topic you're researching. In this example, it is the Kansas Department of Labor. If you are unsure which agency would regulate your topic or need further help finding the regulation number, call the librarians at the State Library at 785-296-2149 or at 1-800-432-3924.
Once you have the regulation number, you can find it online at the Secretary of State's website:
http://www.kssos.org/
Once there, click on "publications" from the menu at the left, then on "legal publications, then on "regulations" or, you can go directly to the regulations page:
http://www.kssos.org/pubs/pubs_kar.aspx
This page gives a description of what Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) are and how they're developed. It also gives links to:
2008 KAR Supplement- KARs that were filed between 12/31/2005 and 1/1/2008
http://www.kssos.org/other/Final_2008_KAR_Supplement.pdf
2006 KAR Volumes by Agency Number- for KAR's filed prior to 2005
http://www.kssos.org/pubs/pubs_kar.aspx and
2006 KAR Volumes by Agency Name- for KAR's filed prior to 2005
http://www.kssos.org/pubs/pubs_kar.aspx
Click on either of the 2006 KAR Volumes links and enter in your regulation number in the "Find" box in the upper right-hand corner of the document. This will take you directly to the regulation within the document.
It is recommended that you check the 2008 KAR Supplement to ensure that your regulation has not been amended or revoked since 2005.
***Note: if your regulation was filed AFTER 1/1/2008, you will have to search for it in the Kansas Register:

If you want to see the search in action watch this video to learn more.
