Kansas Administrative Regulations Agency 126 - UNMARKED BURIAL SITES PRESERVATION BOARD
The Kansas Administrative Regulations for Agency 126 – Unmarked Burial Sites Preservation Board are currently active and consist of a single Article with two sections:

Sets forth when and how permits are required for handling unmarked burial sites. (law.cornell.edu, kssos.org)
🔎 Additional Context
The board’s authority stems from the Unmarked Burial Sites Preservation Act (K.S.A. 75‑2741 to 75‑2754), established in 1989. (ksag.washburnlaw.edu)
Despite the statutory mandate to adopt rules and regulations, for many years the board had not issued any regulations until the enactment of these two sections.
Both sections (§ 126‑1‑1 and § 126‑1‑2) were introduced as new regulations in Volume 21 of the Kansas Register, appearing on page 1792. (kssos.org)

Effective through: Register Vol. 44, No. 13 (March 27, 2025). (regulations.justia.com)
