Book Description
As a matter of law, a person who is not a "public employee" as defined by K.S.A. 75-4322(a) does not qualify as a representative of public employees for purposes of the act establishing the requirements for appointment to the public employee relations board. However, whether an individual appointed to the board is excluded from the definition of "public employee" as defined by K.S.A. 75-4322(a) is an issue of fact. An individual presently employed as director of human resources or personnel manager for a state agency is not necessarily excluded from the definition of "public employee" as a matter of law for purposes of the public employer-employee relations act. The appointee's status as a supervisory employee, a confidential employee, or a management official depends upon the particular duties and functions associated with the job rather than the position title or classification, and the issue is properly resolved on a case-by-case examination of the relevant facts and circumstances. The factual determination whether an appointee meets the statutory requirements for a particular position properly rests with the senate when the appointment is subject to senate confirmation. Cited herein: Kan. const., art. 2, section 18, art. 15, section 1; K.S.A. 75-4315b; 75-4321; 75-4322; K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 75-4323; K.S.A. 75-4324; 75-4333; 75-4334; 29 U.S.C. section 152(11).

Book Description
K.S.A. 75-4318 requires that actual notice of regular and special meetings subject to the Kansas open meetings act (KOMA) be individually provided to those persons requesting such notice. If there is no intent to subvert the KOMA, a meeting subject to that act may be adjourned, recessed or continued to another date, time or place. In our opinion, the notice requirements and intent of the KOMA are violated by giving notice that a meeting will begin on one day and then subsequently continuing that meeting to another day without making a good faith attempt to provide notice of the new date, time and place to those requesting notice. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-510b; 12-520a; 12-641; 12-749; 12-756; 12-1772; 13-1410; 14-111; 15-106; 15-123; 19-2646; 19-27,186; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 75-4317a; K.S.A. 75-4318; 75-4319.

A community correctional officer, including a part time surveillance officer or an intensive supervision officer, is not a "law enforcement officer" for purposes of the law enforcement training act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 21-4603; 21-4610; 22-3716; K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 74-5601, 74-5602; 74-5602a; K.S.A. 74-5604; K.S.A. 75-5290; 75-5295.

Book Description
The Kansas Supreme Court has the inherent power to prescribe conditions for admission to the bar and to regulate and control the practice of law. While there are statutes that relate to the practice of law, such statutes are effective only when in accord with the inherent power of the judiciary. Both K.S.A. 44-536(a) and rule 1.5(d) of the Kansas model rules of professional conduct adopted by Supreme Court rule 226 deal with how attorney fees in contingent fee cases are calculated. Because both the court's rule and the statute are intended to achieve the same goal, the legislation does not have a deleterious impact on the court's function. For this reason, K.S.A. 44-536(a) does not amount to a usurpation of power in contravention of the separation of powers doctrine and therefore is a statutory enactment which the court would sanction as in accord with the court's inherent power to regulate and control the practice of law. Cited Herein: K.S.A. 7-103; 7-104; 7-106; 7-108; 7-109; 7-111; K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 7-121b; K.S.A. 44-510c; 44-521; 44-531; 44-536.

Book Description
Government imposed content-based restrictions on speech are generally impermissible under the first amendment. However, a carefully crafted racial and sexual discrimination and harassment policy that is directed at conduct violative of title VI, title VII or title IX may indirectly regulate speech that is "swept up incidentally within" the policy's reach. Cited herein: 20 U.S.C.A. section 1681; 42 U.S.C.A. sections 2000d, 2000e; 29 C.F.R. section 1604.11.
