A bill in the Kansas State legislature would provide OA to state court records, with the costs to be paid by a small increase in docket fees. The bill has passed the Senate and moved to the House.
PS: This is much better than the plan proposed by the Kansas Supreme Court, which would charge citizens $2 for every online record search.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
