Book Description
Although written requests for notice of government meetings are preferred and the absence of a written request makes prosecution under the Kansas Open Meetings Act nearly impossible, oral requests for notice are to be honored. In addition, meetings for the discussion of personnel matters of non-elected personnel may be held in executive session, but only after the notice requirements and procedures for recessing into closed sessions have been followed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-4317, 75-4317a, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 75-4318, K.S.A. 75-4319, 75-4320.

Book Description
Under the provisions of K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4504 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, sec. 1), the board of supervisors of panels to aid indigent defendants is empowered to adopt rules and regulations concerning the ability of a defendant in a criminal action to retain counsel to assist in his defense. Such rules and regulations specifically relate to the income, assets and anticipated costs of representation of a defendant. Pursuant to the 1981 amendment, such rules and regulations are controlling on any determination by a judge or magistrate as to whether a defendant is financially unable to employ counsel. Moreover, these rules and regulations are adopted in accordance with K.S.A. 77-415 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., thus allowing the legislature to modify or reject them through the adoption of a concurrent resolution (K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 77-426). Insofar as the making of indigency determinations involves the resolution of questions of fact, which is a judicial and not a legislative function, control by the legislature over such determinations is an impermissible interference with the authority of another department of government. Accordingly, those provisions of L. 1981, ch. 157 which require the submission of such rules and regulations to the legislature and which make any rules and regulations so adopted binding on district courts are unconstitutional as violative of the separation of powers doctrine. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4501, 22-4504 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, section 1), 22-4507, K.S.A. 22-4512, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4514, 77-415 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, section 3), Kansas Constitution, Article 3, Section 1, United States Bill of Rights, Sixth Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment.

Book Description
Sections 1 and 2 of 1981 Senate Bill No. 403 (L. 1981, ch. 157) prescribe procedures by which the State of Kansas may seek recoupment of defense funds extended to indigent criminal defendants. The method of recoupment satisfies constitutional requirements enumerated in recent federal decisions, construing and invalidating prior provisions of Kansas recoupment statutes. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-1201, K.S.A. 20-1207, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 20-1204a, 22-4504 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, section 1), 22-4513 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, section 2), U.S. Const., Amends.

Book Description
K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-134(b) provides that the rules and regulations adopted by the state fire marshal shall be of uniform force and effect throughout the state. Pursuant to this statute, K.A.R. 1980 Supp. 22-3-1 adopts by reference the 1976 edition of the Life Safety Code, containing sections which regulate structures having combined mercantile and residential occupancies. For the purposes of enforcement, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-139 gives the state fire marshal and those persons designated by K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-137, the authority to inspect buildings subject to the code. If admittance to a building subject to the Code is denied, a search warrant, which may be issued ex parte, must be obtained prior to entry. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-133, 31-134, 31-137, 31-139, K.A.R. 1980 Supp. 22-3-1, U.S. Const., Amend. IV.

Book Description
As provided by K.S.A. 31-137, municipal fire departments are empowered to enforce the provisions of K.S.A. 31-132 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., as well as any rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. Such enforcement includes the making of inspections in and upon all buildings and premises subject to the act and, if necessary, the issuance of cease and desist orders. (K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-139). As buildings subject to the act include all places in which people work, live or congregate from time to time, [K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-133(a)], the Topeka State Hospital, as such a place, would be subject to inspection by officials of the Topeka Fire Department. However, the department would not be able to enforce any provisions inconsistent with the rules and regulations adopted by the state fire marshal. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-133, 31-134, K.S.A. 31-137, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-139, K.A.R. 1980 Supp. 22-3-1, K.A.R. 22-11-1.

Book Description
Where a judicial district has adopted district court rules pursuant to K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-2912 to administer a diversionary program, the court may adopt any rules necessary to regulate the program insofar as such are in accordance with applicable statutes and rules of the Supreme Court. There are no statutory provisions which state expressly that there must be a diversion program in every county. The county or district attorney is without authority to require probation officers to participate in diversion programs without express approval by the court. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 20-342, 21-4602, 22-2906 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.

Book Description
K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-134a provides an exception to the Kansas Fire Prevention Code (KFPC) for buildings which conform to any one of three specified nationally recognized building codes and meet certain other requirements. As the intent of the legislature was to provide alternatives to the KFPC which still provide adequate fire protection, adoption of the three codes which are enumerated entails adoption of their various subparts as well. Additionally, as such codes may not be retroactively enforced, only new buildings are affected, with existing structures coming under the uniform application of the KFPC. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 31-132, 31-133, 31-134, 31-134a, K.A.R. 1980 Supp. 22-3-1.

Book Description
Duplication of copyrighted musical scores for the use of judges at state music festivals constitutes an infringement of the United States copyright laws. It does not represent a "fair use" of such copyrighted material within the meaning of 17 U.S.C.A. section 107, even though it is for a nonprofit, educational purpose, because: (1) It does not constitute duplication for the purpose of criticizing or commenting on the copyrighted works themselves; (2) even if regarded as being for the purpose of comment or criticism, duplication of an entire score exceeds the permissible amount which may fairly be reproduced as legitimately necessary for critical review; and (3) such duplication is intended primarily as a substitute for purchasing the original works. Cited herein: 17 U.S.C.A. sections 106, 107.
