Book Description
Reservation of the name "Kansas, Inc." for a corporate name does not preclude the legislature from using this name in 1986 House Bill No. 2960. K.S.A. 17-7402 prevents other corporations from registering with the Secretary of State under names that have been reserved. The fact that Kansas, Inc. has been reserved as the official name of a future corporation is of no consequence because the entity created by H.B. 2960 is in fact an agency of the state and is not required to register as a corporation. In addition, corporate name reservation does not prevent another entity from using that name outside its official registration. Furthermore, the right to the name "Kansas," used alone without any descriptive words, belongs to the people of the state. A private corporation, therefore, cannot adopt the name "Kansas, Inc." as such use would be in derogation of existing public rights to that name. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 17-6002; K.S.A. 17-7402.

Book Description
It is our opinion that advanced registered nurse practitioners may not issue prescription orders pursuant to a physician's standing orders or protocol because they have not been granted such authority by the statutes and regulations under which they are licensed. Physicians' assistants, however, are expressly authorized to practice medicine under the direction and supervision of a physician. Since the practice of medicine includes the act of prescribing medicine, we conclude that physicians' assistants may issue prescription orders under the direction and supervision of a physician. Cited herein: K.S.A. 65-1113(d), (g); 65-1626(t), (x), as amended by L. 1986, ch. 236, section 1; 65-2869(b); 65-2896e; 65-2897a(a), (c); K.A.R. 1985 Supp. 60-11-104; 60-11-105; 60-11-106.

Book Description
K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2) authorizes public bodies subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) to recess into an executive session for the purpose of "consultation with an attorney for the body or agency which would be deemed privileged in the attorney-client relationship ..." The term "consultation" as used in the KOMA necessarily implies the presence of an attorney. Even though a letter from an attorney to his client containing advice is a privileged communication, we must conclude that members of a public body cannot recess into an executive session to review and discuss among themselves a letter from their attorney. Therefore, it is our opinion that the "consultation with an attorney" exception to the open meetings law cannot be invoked unless the attorney for the body is present. Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-426; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(a); K.S.A. 75-4319.

Book Description
An ordinance which authorizes a local human relations commission to award compensatory and punitive damages in a discrimination case is incidental to effectuation of a public purpose, i.̲e̲.̲ the elimination of discrimination within a community, and constitutes a valid exercise of city home rule powers. While a local human relations commission lacks standing in district court to enforce such an award, a victim of discrimination may file suit for enforcement in district court. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 44-1005; K.S.A. 44-1011; 60-217; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 60-2101(d); Kan. Const., Art. 12, section 5.

Book Description
Since it is the client's intent which governs the distinction between privileged and non-privileged communications, a determination of whether or not information exchanged between attorney and client is privileged requires a case-by-case consideration. To ensure compliance with the dictates of Canon 4 of the Code of Professional Responsibility and K.S.A. 60-426, when a supervising agency requests that an attorney release particular client information for enumerative or evaluative purposes, the attorney may either obtain the client's consent to do so, or, if the client refuses, compile the requested data in a less intrusive manner. If, however, the agency requests the data for purposes of determining a client's financial eligibility onto satisfy funding requirements, the exception to the privilege under DR-4-101(C)(4) would apply, making the aforementioned precautions unnecessary. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-217; 45-221; 60-426; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 20-3100, Supreme Court Rule No. 225, D.R. 4-101.

A state or national bank which receives a deposit of state moneys is required to secure the account by a pledge of securities. K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4218. Direct obligations of the United States government or its agencies are qualified securities, as are obligations insured as to principal and interest by the United States government or one of its agencies.

Book Description
A search warrant maybe issued by a district magistrate judge upon the sworn oral or written statement of a city attorney. Municipal law enforcement officers may execute such warrant, and property seized pursuant to the warrant may be admissible as evidence in a municipal court. However, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001(f) precludes the use of a search warrant to obtain a blood sample from a person who has refused to submit to a blood, breath or urine test pursuant to that statute. An ordinance authorizing such procedure would be in conflict with the state statute prohibiting further testing after an informed refusal. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 40, section 2; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1005, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 41, section 1; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1567(m); K.S.A. 12-4504; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 22-2202, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 133, section 1; K.S.A. 22-2502; 22-2503; 22-2507; L. 1986, ch. 40, section 1.
