Kansas HB2180, known as the blind information access act, requires the state librarian to contract with an organization to provide on-demand information access services to persons who are blind, visually impaired, deafblind or print disabled.

The state librarian must estimate the cost of these services and certify it to the director of accounts and reports and the administrator of the Kansas universal service fund.
