Book Description
K.S.A. 48-929 requires each county in this state to maintain a disaster agency responsible for emergency preparedness and coordination of response to disasters. Such agencies are required to prepare a disaster emergency plan for the area under their jurisdiction. In addition, local disaster agencies are required to prepare and distribute to all local officials a clear and complete statement of those officials' responsibilities in implementing such a plan. Although a disaster emergency plan is not formally activated until a declaration of disaster is accomplished according to law, there are some aspects of such a plan which must be carried out before a formal declaration of disaster. In our opinion, the emergency responsibilities of a local official under an appropriate disaster emergency plan may include certain acts which, of necessity, precede a formal declaration of a state of disaster emergency. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-813; 48-904; 48-905; 48-924; 48-925; 48-929; 48-932.

Book Description
As previously noted in Attorney General Opinion No. 85-110, a concurrent resolution containing a constitutional amendment adopted by the legislature during the 1985 session may be amended during the 1986 session prior to being submitted to the voters in November, 1986. At present, Chapter 360 of the Laws of 1985 provides for the submission to the voters of an amendment to Article 15, Section 10, which would allow liquor by the drink under certain circumstances. The amendment must be approved by a majority of the voters of the entire state in order to be adopted and a majority of the voters in a particular county before becoming effective in that county. Such a "dual purpose" is clearly disclosed in the explanatory statement which is to be printed on the ballot with the proposed amendment. Further, since the Kansas Constitution limits, rather than confers, power, the people of the state may amend the constitution in any manner they deem appropriate, subject only to the limits of the United States Constitution. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-301; L. 1985, Chs. 360, 364; Kan. Const., Art. 14, section 1; Art. 15, section 10; Kan. Bill of Rights, sections 2, 20.

Book Description
Attorney General Opinion No. 85-37 concluded that the Private Club Act, K.S.A. 41-2601 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., does not prevent a private club from including one or more rooms in a facility which also has areas open to the general public. The scope of Opinion 85-37 does not encompass licensing, as a single club, an area on one floor of a building and another area on a different floor. The two areas are two distinct facilities and as such must be licensed as two separate clubs. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-2608.

Book Description
The decision of the United States Supreme Court in R̲o̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲W̲a̲d̲e̲, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705, 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 (1973), permits a state to regulate or even prohibit abortion after the stage of viability, except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, to preserve the life or health of the mother. Such regulations must be narrowly tailored to fit the precise state interest at stake. As a result, attempts to specify a particular time during a pregnancy when viability occurs or to interfere with the judgment of the attending physician have been struck down as unconstitutional, although general prohibitions on post-viability abortions have been upheld. Cited herein: U.S. Const., Fourteenth Amend.

Book Description
42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523b(1) prohibits the use of federally provided amounts as a non-federal match contribution. Once a recipient provider has properly received Medicaid reimbursement funds and is free to expend them in any legally permissible manner, those funds become the freely alienable property of that recipient. Thus, such a recipient and not the federal government provides the funds which may thereafter be used to match a grant pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523(a). Cited herein: 42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523; 42 U.S.C.A. 1396; 42 C.F.R. 74.53; 42 C.F.R. 433.45; K.S.A. 39-701, 39-717, 75-3301, 75-5301; K.A.R. 30-5-58.

Book Description
K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a(b) prescribes the conditions under which a city utilizing non-partisan elections must hold a primary election. The statute on its face is uniformly applicable to all cities, and is contained in an act (L. 1982, ch. 157) which is also uniform. K.S.A. 25-2113, which is contained in a different act, sets forth a general rule for non-partisan city elections, but also contains a provision for partisan city elections in Johnson County. The inclusion of this provision renders K.S.A. 25-2113 non-uniform, and thereby subject to a charter ordinance under a city's home rule authority. However, in the absence of such an ordinance which would allow partisan elections, the general provisions of K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a concerning primary elections continue to apply. To the extent it is inconsistent with this opinion, Attorney General Opinion No. 78-49 is superseded. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a, K.S.A. 25-2113, Kan. Const. Art. 12, section 5.
