What are subscriber services?
There is a small percentage of applications and information located throughout the legislative site that require you become a subscriber to the Information Network of Kansas (INK) before you can gain access to them. These areas, as well as other applications within the state network, comprise what is commonly known as subscriber services.

Why do I have to pay for these services?
The Information Network of Kansas (INK) is a fee funded state agency that provides electronic government to the citizens of Kansas. As a fee funded agency, we do not receive any tax dollars and must totally fund our operation through user fees. More than 95% of the information on the legislative site is provided at no cost. However, there are some applications that have a fee attached. Revenue collected from these services are used to support the ongoing development of the state's Internet applications.


How do I become a subscriber?
All the information needed to become a subscriber can be located on accessKansas, the official Web site for the state of Kansas in the subscriber area.
