TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A bill expanding the government records that are publically accessible has advanced in the Kansas Senate.

The bill set for a final vote Thursday would expand the Kansas Open Records Act to include documents and emails pertaining to public business, even if they’re generated or stored on personal devices.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports that the bill came in response to a 2014 controversy involving Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director, Shawn Sullivan. At issue was his use of his private email account to communicate with lobbyists about the governor’s budget plan before submitting the plan to legislators.

The bill applies to information stored on devices owned by an officer or employee of a public agency. Also, part-time officers and employees would no longer be exempted.
