Book Description
No state statute proscribes a mandatory retirement age for current employees of unified school districts or community colleges. Thus, it is improper for a board of education or board of trustees to rely upon the mandatory retirement age provisions of K.S.A. 72-5512 or 74-4937 (Weeks, 1980, now repealed,) as the basis for not renewing the employment contract of a faculty member. Additionally, during the term of a negotiated agreement reached under the Teachers' Professional Negotiations Law, a board of education or board of trustees, acting unilaterally, may not make changes in any item which is mandatorily-negotiable, such as the matter of retirement. Moreover, this is true even though the item was not noticed for negotiation and was neither discussed during negotiations nor included in the resulting agreement. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72 -5413(l)(1), 72-5501(d), 72-5512, 74-4931, 74-4937 (Weeks, 1980, now repealed), K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 74-4937; L. 1983, ch. 254, section 15; L. 1971, ch. 232, section 1(d)(7); L. 1970, ch. 326; L. 1941, ch. 341.

Book Description
K.S.A. 19-702 provides that it is the duty of the county attorney to prosecute all cases arising out of the criminal statutes of this state which arise in his or her county. If such a violation occurs, it is immaterial whether it takes place within or without the limits of any city located in the county, or whether the officer issuing the citation or making the arrest is an employee of the city or county. In any violation of a state criminal statute, it is the function of the county attorney to prosecute, and such prosecution may not be declined, or additional conditions attached (i̲.̲e̲.̲ payment of costs) on the grounds that the violation took place within the city. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 8-1567, K.S.A. 12-4111, 12-4113, 19-702, 19-706b.

Book Description
The provisions of subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426, which allow the legislature to reject, modify or revoke an administrative rule and regulation by means of the adoption of a concurrent resolution, are unconstitutional. Such action by the legislature is an unlawful usurpation of the governor's constitutional power to administer and enforce the laws. Such action violates the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers. In addition, the legislative oversight mechanism prescribed in subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426 is unconstitutional for the reason that it attempts to authorize the legislature to make law, without following the mandatory procedures of the Kansas Constitution. The Kansas constitution requires that any law be enacted only by bill [not by resolution or concurrent resolution]; that every bill contain the constitutionally-specified enacting clause; and that all bills passed by the legislature be presented to the governor for approval or disapproval. The procedure set forth in subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426 does not meet these constitutional requirements and is unconstitutional. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426; Kan. Const., Art. 2, sections 14, 20.

Book Description
No state statute prescribes a procedure whereby a city of the third class may change from the commission form of government to the mayor-council form of government.

Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-184, 12-1019, 12-1027, 12-1035, 12-1036h, 12-10a09, 13-1812, 14-1807, 15-124, 15-1201, 15-1704, Kan. Const., Art. 12, section 5.

Book Description
Section 3 of chapter 358 of the session laws of 1984 makes it unlawful for any person to sell or distribute smokeless tobacco to any person under the age of 18 years. Smokeless tobacco includes any tobacco product which is suitable for chewing, as defined by K.S.A. 79-3370. Unlike the cereal malt beverage laws at K.S.A. 41-2701 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., the new act contains no prohibition on either the possession of smokeless tobacco by persons under the age of 18 or the dispensing by minors of such products. Accordingly, it is not a violation of the law for a retailer who sells such products to employ minors who assist in the handling or sale of smokeless tobacco. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-2708, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 41-2721, K.S.A. 79-3370, L. 1984, ch. 358.
