Book Description
The Secretary of Transportation has express statutory authority to organize the Department of Transportation in any manner he deems most efficient, so long as it is not in conflict with the act creating the Department (L. 1975, ch. 426) or other provisions of law. Thus, to reorganize the Department so as to eliminate the statutorily-created Division of Aviation and the statutorily-created position of Director of Aviation, exceeds the Secretary's authority and creates a direct conflict with manifested legislative intent. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-5006, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-5007, 75-5008, K.S.A. 75-5009, 75-5010, 75-5015.

Book Description
A county has no authority to adopt a resolution which modifies the statutory formula, prescribed in K.S.A. 12-192, for apportioning revenue received from a countywide retailers' sales tax. However, pursuant to K.S.A. 12-197, a county may adopt a resolution, according to the procedure prescribed by K.S.A. 19-117, pledging a portion of the county's share of a countywide retailers' sales tax (if such tax is approved by the voters) for services or improvements to be provided by the county within townships located in the county. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-192, 12-197, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 19-101a, K.S.A. 19-117.

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
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
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 1982 Senate Bill No. 699, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 provides [at subsection (n)] that a city may enact an ordinance which prohibits or makes unlawful the same acts as are dealt with by the statute, provided that the ordinance's minimum penalties are the same as the statutes for any given violation, and the ordinance's maximum penalty does not exceed that of the statute. Apart from these limits, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 as amended does not preempt a city from taking action in this area. As amended by 1982 Senate Bill No. 699, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567(c), (d) and (e) prohibit a prosecuting attorney from entering into any plea-bargaining agreement by which a defendant enters a guilty or no contest plea to a lesser offense than that originally charged. While no sanctions against such conduct exist under the statute, provisions of the general ouster law could be applied against prosecuting attorneys who violate the prohibition against plea-bargaining. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567, as amended by 1982 Senate Bill No. 699, K.S.A. 22-2907, 22-2908.

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.
