Statute 47-424: Publication of handbook and supplements; exchanges, sale and
distribution.
The commissioner shall from time to time cause to be published in book
form, a list of all brands and marks on record at the time of such
publication. Such lists may be supplemented from time to time. Such
publication shall contain a facsimile of all brands recorded, together with
the owner's name and post-office address. Said records shall be arranged in
convenient form for reference. The commissioner shall send, to the sheriff
of each county, one copy of said brand book and supplement thereto, which
shall be kept as a matter of public record. The commissioner may exchange
brand books and supplements thereto with livestock brand commissioners and
directors of other states, and with the executive officer of a statewide
organization of any other state which is charged with administration of
brand laws of such state. The commissioner may make other distribution of
brand books and supplements without charge, to Kansas licensed
veterinarians and licensed public livestock market operators, when he deems
such distribution desirable and an aid to the effective administration of
the brand laws of this state. Said books may be sold to the general public
at a price to be determined by the commissioner which shall be based on the
cost of printing, preparation and postage.
