Kansas HB2652 - Requires Delayed Case Lists from Appellate Courts
Summary
Kansas Governor signed HB2652 on April 9, 2026, requiring the clerk of appellate courts to publish monthly lists of delayed cases. The clerk must disclose cases where no decision has been entered within six months of submission, and petitions for review not granted or denied within six months. This transparency measure applies to the Kansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.
What changed
Kansas HB2652 enacts a new transparency requirement for the appellate courts. The clerk must publish monthly lists identifying cases where no decision has been entered within six months of submission, and cases where petitions for review remain undecided after six months. This applies to both the Kansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.
Affected parties include court administrative staff who must now track and publicly disclose delayed cases. Legal professionals and litigants gain access to information about case delays. The bill passed with bipartisan support in both chambers and takes effect upon signature by the Governor.
What to do next
- Monitor for implementing rules from the appellate court clerk
- Review internal case management procedures for six-month delays
- Ensure compliance with new monthly publication requirements
