Book Description
1999 Senate Bill No. 45 does not alter the ability of libraries having direct taxing powers to levy for library purposes, nor does the bill alter the ability of libraries created under K.S.A. 12-1218 et seq. to determine the amount of property taxes to be levied for library purposes, subject to any "limitations fixed by law." While all statutory levy limitations are suspended by Section 72 of the Bill, any other limits properly established by local legislative bodies are not. A library having the power to levy directly, or to require another taxing body to levy on its behalf, is a "taxing subdivision" for purposes of Section 21 of the Bill. Thus, such libraries are required to adopt a resolution prior to approving any appropriation or budget "which provides for funding with [property tax] revenue in an amount exceeding that of the next preceding year" except as otherwise provided in Section 21. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-1215; 12-1218; 12-1220; 12-1260; 12-16,102; 12-1775; 75-2551; 79-1945; 79-5021; 79-5022; 79-5038; 1999 SB 45, sections 21-25, 72, 78; 1999 SB 226.

Book Description
Sheriffs are empowered by K.S.A. 19-805 to appoint deputies for particular purposes. Thus, sheriffs have statutory authority to deputize tribal law enforcement officers to enforce state law within the parameters set by the sheriff. Generally a sheriff is liable for official acts of the sheriff's deputies. However, tribes may agree to waive their immunity for purposes of indemnifying the county or sheriff for any liability incurred as a result of negligent acts of deputized tribal law enforcement officers while acting in an official capacity on behalf of the sheriff. The mechanism for enforcing such an agreement will depend on the terms of the agreement. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-805; 19-805a; 74-2113; 74-5602; K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 74-9804(c); K.S.A. 75-711; 75-6101; 42 U.S.C. section 1983.

Book Description
By referring to "such office" in K.S.A. 25-4325, the Legislature intended that the number of signatures required on a petition seeking the recall of a local elected official be based on a percentage of the number of votes cast in the last general election at which an officer was elected from the same member district from which the officer sought to be recalled was elected. In the case of a petition seeking the recall of a city commissioner who was elected at-large in the 1997 general election, the petition must contain signatures equal in number to not less than 40% of the votes cast at the 1999 general election for all at-large candidates for city commissioner divided by the number of persons elected in the 1999 general election to the office of city commissioner for at-large districts. Cited herein: K.S.A. 25-4301; 25-4318; 25-4325; 71-1407; 72-8009; Kan. Const., Art. 4, section 3; L. 1976, Ch. 177, sections 5, 7; L. 1976, Ch. 178, sections 25, 32; L. 1913, Ch. 336, section 1.
