Book Description
Two statutes concerning fire departments in townships, K.S.A. 80-1518 and 80-1906, provide that fire department vehicles operated by the township are to be given the right of way on public highways, provided that, among other requirements, the vehicle is painted red. A third statute imposing similar requirements, K.S.A. 80-1505, was repealed in 1978. While repeal by implication is not favored, in view of the direct conflict between the two remaining statutes and the more recently-enacted K.S.A. 8-1530 and 8-1541 (regarding the duty of motorists and pedestrians to yield to a̲n̲y̲ authorized emergency vehicle making use of prescribed warning devices), the color requirement contained in the former is without force and effect. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1404, 8-1530, 8-1541, 80-1505 (repealed by L. 1978, ch. 424, section 2), 80-1518, 80-1906.

Book Description
A search warrant maybe issued by a district magistrate judge upon the sworn oral or written statement of a city attorney. Municipal law enforcement officers may execute such warrant, and property seized pursuant to the warrant may be admissible as evidence in a municipal court. However, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001(f) precludes the use of a search warrant to obtain a blood sample from a person who has refused to submit to a blood, breath or urine test pursuant to that statute. An ordinance authorizing such procedure would be in conflict with the state statute prohibiting further testing after an informed refusal. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 40, section 2; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1005, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 41, section 1; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1567(m); K.S.A. 12-4504; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 22-2202, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 133, section 1; K.S.A. 22-2502; 22-2503; 22-2507; L. 1986, ch. 40, section 1.

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.

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.
