The state of Kansas is honored to be considered the birthplace of eGovernment. In 1990, Kansas passed legislation authorizing the creation of the Information Network of Kansas, Inc (INK).

NIC Kansas built Kansas.gov and continues to operate, maintain, and market the website on behalf of the state.
“We are honored by the confidence Kansas has always placed in NIC and thrilled to continue that relationship into the future, Through this partnership, we’re able to make government more accessible via technological innovation and acceleration of digital service delivery, ultimately making life better for Kansas citizens.”
