(a)Each year the revisor of statutes shall edit and prepare for printing and publication such volumes of the Kansas Statutes Annotated as have been included in the detailed budget of the legislative coordinating council for the revisor of statutes. Except as otherwise provided by law for volumes containing constitutions and the general index, the volume or volumes published each year shall contain all of the statutes in force and effect then contained in the volume or volumes of the Kansas Statutes Annotated being replaced and the then current supplements thereto, together with all acts passed by the current session of the legislature and assigned by the revisor of statutes to chapters in the volume or volumes being newly published.

(b)When more than one volume is being newly published in any year, the material in the replacement volumes shall be divided between or among the replacement volumes as nearly equally as practicable by the revisor of statutes. Each volume shall be printed and bound by the division of printing in the format prescribed by K.S.A. 77-152 and amendments thereto. Replacement volumes shall not contain volume indexes. In editing and preparing the material to be contained in replacement volumes of the Kansas Statutes Annotated for publication, the provisions of K.S.A. 77-133 , 77-136 , 77-136a and 77-152 , and amendments to these statutes, shall govern the revisor and the division of printing, insofar as the same can be made applicable, and the statutes to be contained in replacement volumes shall be authenticated in the same manner as required under K.S.A. 77-137 and amendments thereto. After publication of replacement volumes, each shall thereafter be kept up to date by cumulative supplements in the same manner as provided for supplementation of Kansas Statutes Annotated by K.S.A. 77-163 et seq. and amendments thereto.

(c)Replacement volumes of the Kansas Statutes Annotated shall be printed in the number of copies specified by the revisor of statutes, subject to available appropriations, and shall be distributed and sold in the same manner as provided in K.S.A. 77-138 and amendments thereto as for the distribution of volumes of the Kansas Statutes Annotated.
