Book Description
An attorney who has been appointed to any board, commission or authority of a city is a "public officer" under K.S.A. 12-1601, and is therefore precluded from representing a client in any litigation or controversy in which the city is interested, either directly or indirectly. This preclusion extends to even those matters which do not involve the particular body to which the individual has been appointed, but does not include other members of a law firm of which he or she may be a part. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-1601, 12-1602.

Book Description
The provisions of K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 65-3449(b) cannot be construed as an implied delegation of the power of eminent domain to any state board or agency. If the Kansas Legislature were to enact legislation authorizing condemnation proceedings to acquire real property for use as a radioactive waste storage facility, and declaring condemnation of property for such use to be a "public use," the condemnation of property under such an enactment would probably be upheld by the courts of this state. However, any specific "taking" of property, thereunder, would be open to judicial review for the purpose of considering public use, fraud, bad faith, or abuse of discretion. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 65-3445 and 65-3449.

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
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
Unlike Kansas cities and counties which exercise constitutional or statutory "home rule" powers, school districts are creatures of statute and, as such, enjoy only those powers expressly conferred, by law, together with those implied powers which are necessary for the effective exercise and discharge of the powers and duties expressly conferred. No statutory authority exists, either expressly conferred or necessarily implied, authorizing the expenditure of school districts funds to contribute to a lobbying effort on a proposed state-wide severance tax. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 19-101a, K.S.A. 19-101c, 72-1612, 72-1623, 72-5326, 72-8205, Kan. Const., Art. 12, section 5.
