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
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
K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567(c), as amended by section 5 of Senate Bill No. 699, establishes penalties for persons convicted of their first violation of the statute. Prior to the 1982 amendment, the subsection authorized a court to punish first time violators by imposing a specified jail sentence or a specified fine, "or by both such fine and imprisonment." In the amended statute, the word "and" replaces the word "or" between the term of imprisonment and the amount of the fine, although the phrase "or by both such fine and imprisonment" is retained. In that the intent of the legislature in altering the disjunctive "or" to the conjunctive "and" was to require both forms of punishment, the additional phrase allowing such is now mere verbiage, and adds nothing to the statute. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567, as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5.

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
Chapter 44 of the Laws of 1980 amended K.S.A. 8-2107 to allow the use of a credit card to post bond on certain enumerated offenses. Such cards, issued by banks, allow the violator to deposit a draft with the arresting officer, which draft is returned upon the violator's appearance for further proceedings before the court, or, alternatively, is forfeited upon nonappearance. The withholding of a predetermined amount by the issuer of the card from the amount posted as bond is not a violation of the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. sections 1601 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., in that there is no credit transaction which is subject thereto. Neither is there a violation of anti-trust laws by virtue of two or more banks entering into agreements to purchase such drafts at such a discount, provided such agreements are drafted by a state agency and then presented to such banks for their signature. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-2107, as amended by L. 1982, ch. 47, K.S.A. 16a-3-206, 16a-6-117, K.S.A. 50-101, 15 U.S.C. section 1, 15 U.S.C. section 1637, 12 C.F.R. 226.2, 12 C.F.R. 226.6, 12 C.F.R. 226.7.
