Book Description
The initial determination, by a city, to adopt one of two alternative flood control projects, is legislative in nature, and is a proper subject of an initiative petition under the provisions of K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 12-3013, as amended by Section 31 of Chapter 173 of the 1981 Session Laws of Kansas. However, a proposed ordinance, which is submitted to a city governing body under the initiative and referendum statute, may not include provisions which are administrative in nature, or provisions which conflict with applicable state statutes. Where a proposed ordinance contains such provisions, it is not subject to the initiative and referendum process. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-635, 12-636, 12-644, 12-645, 12-3013; L. 1981, Ch. 173, Section 31; Kan. Const., Art. 12, Section 5(c).

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.
