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
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
Documents circulated by electors of the city of Cherryvale seeking to bring about a change in the form of city government and the number of wards in the city constitute two separate petitions. Each petition must be able to stand on its own in meeting the requirements for a sufficient petition. A recital of the circulator must be included in each petition. A question regarding abandonment of the commission form of government is to be submitted to the qualified electors of the city at the next city or state general or primary election following by not less than 60 days the certification of the petition. A petition requesting that the question be submitted at an election held at any other time is a nullity. Division of the city into wards is essentially an administrative function, and is not subject to initiative and referendum. A petition requesting a change in the number of wards of a city is therefore of no legal consequence. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-184; 12-3013; 14-103; 14-1807; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-3601, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2; 25-3602, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 3.

Book Description
K.S.A. 12-1019 authorizes a petition seeking to bring to an election a question regarding a change in the form of government for a city. K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-3601, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2, establishes in part the requirements for such petition. The amendment adopted in L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2 is merely procedural in nature, and therefore may be applied retrospectively to petitions being circulated prior to April 30, 1992, the effective date of the amendment. A petition drafted on March 31, 1992, should, prior to its circulation, be submitted to the county attorney for an opinion regarding the legality of the form of the question unless such retrospective application of the requirement results in a manifest injustice. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-184; 12-1019; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 25-3601, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 194, section 2; U.S. Const., art. 1, section 10.
