Book Description
The "governor's cabinet" has evolved through custom and tradition loosely patterned after the United States president's cabinet. Each member of the president's cabinet has a constitutional duty to provide opinions as the principal officer of an executive department when required by the president. U.S. const., art. II, section 2. There is a similar provision in the Kansas constitution. As such, cabinet members serve as advisors to the governor. The members of the current governor's cabinet include the secretaries of various state departments who are appointed by the governor subject to the confirmation of the senate and serve at the pleasure of the governor. In our opinion, the legislature may require that the secretary of the board of agriculture serve as a member of the governor's cabinet because as a member of the executive department she is already subject to the governor's request for information regarding her duties. Cited herein: K.S.A. 32-801; 74-5002; K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 75-3702; 75-5001; 75-5101; 75-5203; 75-5301; 75-5601; 75-5701; 75-5903. Kan. Const., art. 1, section 1; Kan. Const., art. 1, section 4; Kan. Const., art. 15, section 1; U.S. Const., Art. II, section 2.

Book Description
While recognizing the importance of requiring licensure and regulation by the state of those who wish to practice law here, and the Kansas Supreme Court's inherent authority to require such licensure and regulation, due to the fact that the activities in question are occurring within a federal enclave and based on the supremacy clause, in our opinion attorneys acting under the authority of the United States army legal assistance program may counsel and assist pro se military clients with the preparation of necessary documents to be filed in Kansas courts in specified civil proceedings without obtaining a license to practice in the state of Kansas. Cited herein: 10 U.S.C. section 1044; U.S. Const., art. VI, cl. 2.

Nor does an incumbent have a contract right to hold the office for the duration of the original fixed term.

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. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-2302; 45-402; 46-224; 75-3049; 75-3502a; 75-3504; 75-3701; 75-3728a; 75-5274; 75-5521; 75-5523; L. 1990, ch. 22, section 3; L. 1991, ch. 11, section 2; L. 1992, ch. 214, section 9; L. 1992, ch. 325, section 2; L. 1993, ch. 270, section 2; L. 1994, ch. 361, section 2; K.A.R. 53-4-1.
