Book Description
The petition submitted to the city of Lawrence and setting forth a proposed ordinance establishing term limitations does not fulfill the requirements of K.S.A. 25-3602 and is, therefore, invalid because it does not state the question which the petitioners seek to bring to an election. The proposed ordinance establishing term limitations contains both legislative and administrative provisions and, therefore, is not a proper subject of an initiative petition and may not be submitted to a referendum. The severability clause is ineffective to sever the administrative provision from the legislative provision. A proposed ordinance which establishes term limitations will not affect a Lawrence city ordinance establishing terms of office because a term limitation acts as a qualification for running for office. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-1001; 12-1006; 12-1017; 12-3013; 13-1501; 25-620; 25-3602.

Book Description
Unlike review of a public record in open meeting, executive session review of a public record by an entity subject to the Kansas open meetings act (KOMA) does not alter the nature of or laws applicable to disclosure of that record. The Kansas open records act (KORA) generally requires all public records to be open unless a specific law applies to that record in such a way as to require or allow closure of the public record in question. Whether or not a specific document fits the definition of a public record, or is subject to closure under a specific law, is a fact question which must be answered on a case by case basis. K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 45-221(a) and (b), 79-1437c and 79-1437f, as amended, should all be considered when reviewing a record that contains financial information provided to a county pursuant to taxing authority. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-215; K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 45-217; 45-221, as amended by L. 1995, ch. 256, section 6; K.S.A. 75-4317; K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 79-4319, 79-1437c, as amended by L. 1995, ch. 252, section 25; 79-1437f.

Book Description
The United States constitution has delegated to congress the power to determine the qualifications of its own members and to expel its members when necessary. Because this is a power reserved for the individual houses of congress, the tenth amendment of the United States constitution does not reserve to the states the authority to remove members of congress from office. K.S.A. 25-4301 et seq. are not applicable to members of congress. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-4301; 25-4304; U.S. Const., art. 1, sec. 5, amend. 10.
