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
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
In order to prevent damage to roads under its jurisdiction, a county may, pursuant to K.S.A. 8-1912, prohibit the use of, or impose limits upon the weight of vehicles using, such roads during certain periods when weather conditions would cause such use to inflict damage. Such limits become effective upon the passing of a resolution by the board of county commissioners and the posting of signs stating the limits or prohibitions, violations of which can result in a civil action to recover damages. In that any common law right of a county to bring an action for damages caused by negligent use of county roads has been superseded by statute, only acts which are illegal may give rise to a suit for damages. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-5,123 (repealed L. 1974, ch. 33), 8-1912, 8-1913.

Book Description
As amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 provides that a person convicted of a violation of the offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol may be required to perform public or community service work as an alternative to incarceration or payment of a fine. In assigning the work to be performed, a judge or court services division would be exercising judicial and discretionary functions, respectively, and would be exempt from liability under the Tort Claims Act, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-6101 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. However, as noted by Attorney General Opinion Nos. 81-98 and 82-157, the recipient organization (including local governments and non-profit corporations) may be liable for injuries and damages inflicted or suffered by persons acting within the scope of their designated community service duties. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 (as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5), K.S.A. 21-4610, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-6102, 75-6104.

Book Description
During the 1982 session of the Legislature, both Senate Bill Nos. 559 and 595 were enacted into law. As each of the two measures contains a section amending K.S.A. 16a-2-401, they should, if possible, be considered together in order to give effect to both. In that they alter different subsections of the statute, the two measures are not in conflict. Even though the changes made by S.B. No. 595 are not reflected in S.B. No. 559, K.S.A. 16a-2-401 may be read to include the changes made by both acts. Cited herein: K.S.A. 16a-2-201, 16a-2-401, 1982 Senate Bill No. 559, 1982 Senate Bill No. 595.

Book Description
As amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 contains new provisions for the sentencing of persons who are convicted of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Additionally, the act amends K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001 to admit into evidence the defendant's refusal to take a chemical test for the presence of alcohol. While the act does not specifically provide that these changes will apply only to offenses committed after its effective date of July 1, 1982, such a result is necessary in view of the substantive, as opposed to merely procedural, nature of these two amendments. Accordingly, the above-referenced amendments are applicable only to offenses committed after the effective date of the act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001, 8-1567, both as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, K.S.A. 21-3102, 22-4618.

Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 28-137 (as amended by L. 1982, ch. 166, section 4), the party requesting publication of a legal notice in any court action or proceeding is responsible for payment of the fees and charges of the publisher, and a publisher may properly refuse to publish any such notice or to file proof of publication of the notice, unless such payment is made. However, there is nothing to preclude a publisher from accommodating the party requesting such publication and awaiting payment of the publication fees and charges until such time as costs are taxed in the action or proceeding. Cited herein: K.S.A. 28-137 (as amended by L. 1982, ch. 166, section 4).
