Book Description
The legislature is authorized pursuant to article 4, section 3 of the Kansas constitution to prescribe the grounds and procedures for recall of elected public officials. The procedure set forth by the legislature obligates the county or district attorney to determine the sufficiency of the grounds asserted in a petition seeking the recall of a local officer. The county or district attorney does not determine whether the local officer should be subject to recall. Rather, the county or district attorney determines whether the grounds are set forth with sufficient particularity so as to permit the local officer an opportunity to prepare a statement in justification of the officer's conduct in office. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-4301; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 25-4302; K.S.A. 25-4312; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 25-4320; K.S.A. 25-4326; 25-4329; 25-4331; Kan. Const., art. 4, section 3.

Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 74-4960, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 14, and 74-4960a, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 15, the Kansas public employees retirement system (KPERS) is obligated to make payment of the 10% benefit due a minor child of a disabled member of the Kansas police and firemen's retirement system (KP & F) only to a legally appointed conservator. It is necessary, therefore, that a conservator be appointed for each minor child of the member's family. Unless the divorce decree provides otherwise, a member of KP & F who is making child support payments pursuant to a divorce decree is entitled to credit toward those payments the amount of the 10% benefit paid by KPERS to the conservator of the minor child. If the 10% benefit exceeds the amount owed pursuant to the divorce decree, the excess will be considered a gratuity under the divorce decree. If the court determines that payment of the 10% benefit to a conservator somehow results in a material change in circumstances, the court may modify the order fixing child support. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-165, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 312, section 1; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 59-3004; 60-1610, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 273, section 2; 74-4916, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 8; 74-4927h; 74-4959, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 13; K.S.A. 74-4960, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 14; 74-4960a, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 15.

Book Description
Based on I̲n̲ ̲r̲e̲ ̲A̲p̲p̲l̲i̲c̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲N̲o̲e̲l̲ ̲f̲o̲r̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲c̲h̲a̲r̲g̲e̲ ̲H̲e̲a̲r̲i̲n̲g̲, 17 Kan. App. 2d 303 (1992), it is our opinion that K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428(3), as amended, and K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428a(3), which are used to determine the need for continued commitment of insanity acquittees, violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment by not placing the burden of proof upon the state to show by clear and convincing evidence both the committed person's continued insanity and dangerousness. However, rather than striking the statutes down, the Court of Appeals engrafted the essential requirements onto the statutes. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 309, section 3; 22-3428a.

Book Description
Because the legislation proposed in 1994 senate bill no. 623 impairs a contractual right of those members having a vested interest in the retirement system without accompaniment of an offsetting or counterbalancing advantage, the bill violates section 10 of article 1 of the United States constitution and K.S.A. 74-4923. Cited herein: K.S.A. 74-4901; 74-4917; 74-4923; 74-4951; 1994 S.B. No. 623; 1994 S.B. No. 624; U.S. Const., art. 1, sec. 10.

Book Description
Unified school districts are required by subsection (b) of K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 72-89b03, as amended by L. 1998, Ch. 171, section 4, to adopt a policy establishing a procedure for reporting to the police, county attorney, Attorney General, Kansas Highway Patrol, or other similar law enforcement agency, as appropriate, acts which have been committed at school, on school property, or at a school supervised activity when the acts involve conduct which constitutes the commission of a felony or misdemeanor or the possession, use, or disposal of explosives, firearms, or other weapons. A unified school district may adopt a policy whereby all reports of incidents are made to an employee designated by the board of education of a unified school district. The designated employee may then review the reports. If it is determined that the incident involved conduct which constitutes the commission of a felony or a misdemeanor, or which involves the possession, use or disposal of explosives, firearms, or other weapons, the law requires the designated employee to forward the report to the appropriate law enforcement agency. A school policy providing for the reporting of an incident to a school resource officer who is employed by the police department or other law enforcement agency as a law enforcement officer may fulfill the requirements of K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 72-89b03 if such manner of reporting is acceptable to the law enforcement agency. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 21-4502; 21-4503a, as amended by L. 1998, Ch. 192, section 5; K.S.A. 72-8222; K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 72-89b01; 72-89b03, as amended by L. 1998, Ch. 171, section 4; 72-89b04; 74-5602; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 74-5602; L. 1996, Ch. 87, section 2; L. 1995, Ch. 123, section 3; L. 1987, Ch. 277, sections 1, 2.

Book Description
The legislature has effectively placed a moratorium during that period running from the first Wednesday following the first Tuesday in December of even-numbered years to the Tuesday immediately preceding the first Wednesday in April of odd-numbered years on elections regarding a change in the method of election or voting plan for members of a board of education. Because Tuesday, April 6, 1993, falls within that period of time subject to the moratorium, no election regarding a change in the method of election or voting plan for members of a board of education may be conducted on April 6, 1992. The provisions of K.S.A. 72-8004 are mandatory. If, in order to meet federal requirements, proposed member districts cannot be drawn so as to comply with the conditions set forth in K.S.A. 72-8004, a change in the method of election or voting plan may not be made. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-8001; 72-8004; 72-8005; 72-8008; 72-8009; 42 U.S.C. section 1971.

Book Description
An attempt by a board of education and a professional employees' organization to ratify amendments to the contracts of employment of professional employees without submitting the amendments to a vote of the professional employees pursuant to K.S.A. 72-5421 would conflict with the purposes of professional negotiation recognized by the legislature. Any provisions of an agreement conferring such authority upon a board of education and a professional employees' organization would be void and unenforceable. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-5411, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 20, section 1; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 72-5412; 72-5413; K.S.A. 72-5414; 72-5421; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 72-5423; K.S.A. 72-5424; 72-5437, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 20, section 2.
