Book Description
Current statutes concerning the powers and duties of county officials do not authorize boards of county commissioners to enter into interlocal agreements which unilaterally require county attorneys or their staff to prosecute in municipal court for violations of a municipal DUI ordinance. If a city has enacted a DUI ordinance, violations of that ordinance which fall within the city's jurisdiction may be prosecuted in municipal court. Such prosecutions may be undertaken by an attorney authorized by the city to appear in municipal court on behalf of the city. Likewise, defense costs for indigent defendants may be paid to attorneys properly hired by the city for such purposes. Compensation paid by the city to such prosecutors or other attorneys may be contractually shared with or paid to a third party (such as a county) if that party provides contractual consideration for such payments and if the city is expending funds which may be utilized for such purposes. Attorneys involved in representation of two or more public entities must resolve potential statutory or ethical conflict of interest issues. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 8-1567; K.S.A. 12-2901; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 12-2909; K.S.A. 12-4104; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 12-4106; K.S.A. 19-701; 19-702; 22-2401a; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 75-4301a.

Book Description
In 3̲2̲4̲ ̲L̲i̲q̲u̲o̲r̲ ̲C̲o̲r̲p̲.̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲D̲u̲f̲f̲y̲, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the State of New York's statutory scheme for maintenance and control of retail liquor prices was in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The Court also held that New York's pricing system would not be saved under the "state-action exemption" from the antitrust laws (due to the fact that the state did not actively supervise the pricing system) or the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution (because the asserted state interests were not substantiated and did not suffice to afford such immunity). In Kansas, distributors are to file current bottle and case prices with the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is required to establish a minimum markup to be added on to the bottle price on file at the time of retail sale. The Board does not regulate the prices posted by distributors and has not adjusted the markup percentage for distilled spirits for approximately ten years. The pricing system for alcoholic liquor sales in Kansas is so closely aligned with that of New York that it too is in violation of antitrust laws. As a practical matter, prices are set by private industry and the State does not "actively" supervise the pricing system. Additionally, the United States Supreme Court held that unsubstantiated claims that the system promotes temperance and protects small liquor retailers are not sufficient to afford immunity under the Twenty-first Amendment. Cited herein: K.S.A. 41-1101; 41-1111; 41-1114; 41-1115; 41-1116; 41-1117; 41-1118; K.A.R. 13-4-2; 15 U.S.C. section 1.

Book Description
The applicable definition of "state agency," as used in rules and regulations adopted by the state records board pursuant to K.S.A. 75-3504, is set forth in K.S.A. 45-402. Under that definition, and for purposes of appointing a records officer as provided by K.A.R. 53-4-1, the deferred compensation unit of the department of administration is a state agency. However, Kansas Advocacy and Protective Services, Inc. is not a state agency for purposes of K.A.R. 53-4-1 and therefore need not appoint a records officer.
