Book Description
Because the Kansas Constitution does not define the term "merchants' and manufacturers' inventory" for purposes of the property tax exemption in article 11, section 1, it is appropriate to rely on common understanding of the terms at the time the constitutional provision was adopted, and the statutory definitions contained in K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 79-201m. The scope of these definitions does not include real estate, such as houses constructed on-site for later sale. Therefore, such property is not eligible for the merchants' and manufacturers' inventory exemption from property tax under article 11, section 1. Cited herein: K.S.A. 79-102; K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 79-201m, as amended by L. 1989, ch. 289, section 1; Kan. Const., Art. 11, section 1.

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.
