Book Description
The provisions of K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 19-117 are uniformly applicable to all counties in restricting the exercise of home rule powers regarding the enactment of tax and other revenue measures. Pursuant thereto, if there is no statutory procedure for levying any such tax or revenue measure, the provisions of K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 19-117 must be followed. However, if such a procedure has been prescribed by legislative enactment, a board of county commissioners must follow such statutorily-prescribed procedure. Thus, county home rule powers do not permit a board of county commissioners on its own initiative to submit to the county's electors the question of levying a tax to fund a service program for the elderly, because the procedure prescribed by K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 12-1680 for making such levy does not contemplate such action. To the extent of its conflicting conclusions, Attorney General Opinion No. 75-415 is to be disregarded. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 12-1680, 19-101a, 19-117.

Book Description
The sole issue to be resolved at an administrative herring held under the "implied consent" law (K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001) is the reasonableness of a person's refusal to submit to a request to take a blood-alcohol test. At the hearing, the only testimony needed from the arresting officer is the sworn report required in the statute, and if the sworn report addresses the necessary issues, there is no need for the officer to attend the hearing. However, if the sworn report fails to discuss whether the licensee was capable of making a voluntary response to the request to submit to a blood-alcohol test, and it appears that this issue will be raised in the administrative hearing, the testimony of the arresting officer is essential and the attendance of the arresting officer may be compelled by subpoena [K.S.A. 8-255(b)]. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-255, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001 and K.S.A. 54-101.

Book Description
Through the imposition of fines for unlawful conduct, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901(d) imposes criminal liability. In addition, subsection (a) of that statute does not appear to violate the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, although it only imposes liability upon a limited class of persons. Moreover, that subsection appears to convey a sufficiently definite warning as to the conduct proscribed therein, so as to avoid being unconstitutionally vague and uncertain. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901, 8-1909, K.S.A. 8-2116, 8-2204, 21-3105, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 21-4503, U.S. Const., Amend. XIV.

Book Description
The State Board of Education lawfully may adopt rules and regulations governing the certification of teaching, administrative and other supportive personnel in unified school districts, relying upon its constitutional authority and disregarding any statutory authority or lack thereof. The legislature may not prescribe, amend, modify, or otherwise alter the content of such rules and regulations. Although the procedures prescribed in K.S.A. 77-415 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. do not apply to regulations issued by the State Board of Education pursuant to the authority possessed by the State Board under Article 6, Section 2(a) of the Kansas Constitution, the State Board would be well advised to adopt similar procedures in order to provide adequate notice and opportunity for hearing. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 77-415 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 365, section 1), K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 77-421 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 324, section 33), Kan.

Book Description
The Kansas Open Meetings Act requires notice of all regular and special meetings of bodies subject to the Act to be provided to all persons requesting it. Publication of notice of legislative interim study committees in the K̲a̲n̲s̲a̲s̲ R̲e̲g̲i̲s̲t̲e̲r̲ is adequate notice to those persons who subscribe to that publication. However, individual notice is still required for persons who do not subscribe to the R̲e̲g̲i̲s̲t̲e̲r̲. Absent changes in the law or the rules of the House and Senate, such persons may not be denied notice of interim study committees for failure to pay the subscription fee for the R̲e̲g̲i̲s̲t̲e̲r̲ or mailing and postage charges arising from the providing of individual notice. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-430 (as amended by 1982 House Bill No. 2717), K.S.A. 75-4317, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-4318, 77-421 (as amended by 1982 House Bill No. 2712), L. 1981, ch. 324, section 33.

Book Description
L. 1981, Ch. 156 section 2(g) does not require that an inmate convicted of a class A, B or C felony by reason of aiding, Abetting, advising or counseling another to commit a crime, or by reason of the principle provided for in subsection (2) of K.S.A. 21-3205, serve one-half of the minimum term of imprisonment imposed by the court. Rather, the law requires that the inmate serve one-half of the term of imprisonment which would be required had not the aiding, abetting, etc. come into play. Thus, on a class A felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after seven and one-half years of confinement and on a class B or C felony conviction, parole eligibility would occur after service of one-half of the minimum sentence imposed less good time credits available. Cited herein: L. 1981, Ch. 156.
