Book Description
The provisions of K.S.A. 79-5001 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. (the so-called "tax lid") have the effect of placing a ceiling on the aggregate amount which a county such as Sedgwick may raise through tax levies on tangible property. Levies may be excluded from the provisions of the tax lid either by being listed at K.S.A. 79-5011 or through the enactment of a statute specifically so stating, pursuant to K.S.A. 79-5003. If a county wishes to exclude from the tax lid that portion of its general fund levy used to support the district court (as mandated by various statutes), it may do so by seeking legislative action in either of the ways described above. Alternatively, as the tax lid was promulgated by an act which is not uniformly applicable to all counties, a county may, pursuant to K.S.A. 19-101b, exclude itself from the operation of the tax lid itself. In the absence of such measures, a county must observe the tax lid restrictions in paying those expenses of the district court which are imposed upon it by statute. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 19-101a, K.S.A. 19-101b, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 20-162, 20-348, 20-349, 20-356, 20-362, K.S.A. 20-613a, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 38-554, 38-821, 79-1946, 79-1947, K.S.A. 79-5003, 79-5004, 79-5011.

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.
