Book Description
Kansas recognizes employment at will principles which allow either party to terminate employment, absent a contract that otherwise provides. However, the doctrine of employment at will is not absolute. For instance, Kansas law restricts employment termination in cases involving discrimination, civil service, veterans, or retaliation. Public employees may have additional protections pursuant to employee manuals, established policies or adoption of the Kansas public employer-employee relations act. Absent the applicability of the aforementioned exceptions, or denial of a constitutionally protected right, the Coffey County board of county commissioners, in the interest of protecting county property, has the authority to terminate employment of an at will employee who has been convicted of felony theft. Cited herein: Preamble; K.S.A. 19-101 F̲o̲u̲r̲t̲h̲ and F̲i̲f̲t̲h̲; 19-212; 19-801 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.; 44-1001 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.; 68-504; 73-201 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.; 75-2925 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.; 75-4929f(b); U.S. Const., Amend.

Book Description
Residency for reapportionment of state senatorial and representative districts is established by statute. Persons who are citizens of a country other than the United States are deemed to be residents of the country in which which they hold citizenship. Those persons are not to be enumerated in the Kansas census unless they obtain United States citizenship as well as establish legal residence in this state prior to the time of enumeration. The resulting distinction between citizens and non-citizens does not impermissibly dilute the power of an individual's vote, and does not therefor deny equal protection. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 11-204, as amended by L. 1988, ch. 67, section 2; K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 11-205; Kans. Const., Art. 10, section 1.

Book Description
The purchase of machinery and equipment used by a utility in the production of electricity is subject to taxation under the Kansas retailers' sales tax act unless it is exempted pursuant to L. 1988, ch. 386, sections 3(mm) or is purchased for installation at a qualified business facility located within an enterprise zone and which qualifies for an income tax credit under K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 79-32,153, as amended. The service of installing such machinery and equipment is taxable under the sales tax act unless purchased for installation at a qualified business facility as described above, or unless it is installed in connection with the original construction of a facility as defined by K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 79-3603(p)(3), as amended. The machinery and equipment used exclusively by a municipality in the operation of an electric utility is exempt from property tax, while the machinery and equipment of a privately owned and operated electric utility is generally subject to such taxation unless included within an economic development exemption granted pursuant to article 11, section 13 of the Kansas Constitution or is purchased with IRB moneys or is otherwise exempted due to extenuating circumstances.
