Book Description
Kansas statutes requiring certificates of need for certain projects undertaken by health facilities (K.S.A. 65-4801 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.) contain no exemption for facilities owned or operated by the state, although federal facilities are specifically exempted. K.S.A. 65-4819. In that the act was in response to federal legislation which mandated the adoption of a plan for health care cost control through a certificate of need program in return for federal funds, any exemption should be through an express amendment, and should not be inferred. Accordingly, the appropriation by the 1984 Kansas Legislature of money for two projects at the University of Kansas Medical Center does not in itself act to amend by implication the requirements of K.S.A. 65-4801 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., leaving the two projects subject to a grant of a certificate of need before they are undertaken. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 65-4801, K.S.A. 65-4802, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 65-4805, K.S.A. 65-4819, L. 1984, ch. 13, 21, 23, Kan. Const., Art. 2, section 16, 42 U.S.C.A. section 300m, 42 U.S.C.A. 5300m-1, 42 U.S.C.A. section 300m-2.

Book Description
The legislature may refuse to appropriate moneys to provide funds for a̲ ̲p̲a̲r̲t̲i̲c̲u̲l̲a̲r̲ lease of office space already entered into by a state agency and may direct that no appropriated moneys shall be used for such purpose. However, the legislature may not prescribe that an agency may not enter into a̲n̲y̲ lease for office space without the prior approval of the State Finance Council or some other legislatively-dominated committee. Such a limitation on prospective action by a state agency violates the doctrine of separation of powers and is unconstitutional. Attorney General Opinion No. 81-83 is reaffirmed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-3708, 75-3711, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 75 -3711c, 75-3725a, L. 1984, ch. 23, section 5, L. 1984, ch. 244, sections 1, 2, 23, L. 1981, ch. 32, section 69.

Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 79-1602, each county board of equalization possesses the authority, and, in fact, is required, to make such changes in the assessment of property as is necessary in order to secure the uniform and equal assessment of all property. In making such changes, however, the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1426 make it abundantly clear that the duty of all assessing officers, including county boards of equalization, is to assess and equalize the values of all property at thirty percent (30%) of fair market value in money. Cited herein: K.S.A. 79-1426, 79-1439, 79-1602.

Section 6 of chapter 187, as amended by section 3 of chapter 282 of the 1984 Session Laws, further requires that any person who obtains a list of names and addresses certify that: (1) he or she will not use the information for the purpose of selling or offering for sale any property or services, and (2) will not give, sell or otherwise make available the list to another person so that the latter may sell or offer for sale any property or service.

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
