Book Description
The qualifications for a municipal judge in a city of the third class may be found at K.S.A. 12-4105 and 15-209, and deal solely with such matters as residency, citizenship and age. No express disqualification of those individuals with felony convictions exists, thus leaving the effect of such a conviction up to the consideration of the city council, pursuant to K.S.A. 15-204. However, such a conviction may also violate Canon 2 of the Code of Judicial Conduct, with such a determination to be made by the State Commission on Judicial Qualifications. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-4105, 12-4106, 15-204, 15-209, K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 20-176.

Book Description
As amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 contains new provisions for the sentencing of persons who are convicted of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Additionally, the act amends K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001 to admit into evidence the defendant's refusal to take a chemical test for the presence of alcohol. While the act does not specifically provide that these changes will apply only to offenses committed after its effective date of July 1, 1982, such a result is necessary in view of the substantive, as opposed to merely procedural, nature of these two amendments. Accordingly, the above-referenced amendments are applicable only to offenses committed after the effective date of the act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1001, 8-1567, both as amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, K.S.A. 21-3102, 22-4618.

Book Description
Subsection (e) of K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 25-4406 requires that, to be approved for use in Kansas, an electronic or electromechanical voting system must prevent the voter from casting more votes for an office or candidate than that which the voter is entitled by law to cast for such office or candidate, and a voting system which does not prevent "overvoting" in the first instance, but merely rejects all votes for an office or candidate by a voter who has overvoted, does not meet these requirements. Any such voting system which does not provide an enclosed voting station which conceals the voter from observation, view or detection while voting does not meet the requirements in K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 25-4406(h) that such voting system must provide for voting in "absolute secrecy." In evaluating whether an electronic or electromechanical voting system should be approved for use in Kansas, the secretary of state is limited to a consideration of whether the voting system satisfies the requirements of K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 25-4406 and can be used safely. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 25-1310, K.S.A. 25-2703 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 169, section 1), K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 25-4401, 25-4404, 25-4405 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 172, section 1), 25-4406.

Book Description
A police officer has express authorization stated in the law to impound a vehicle driven by a defendant arrested under certain circumstances. However, even though such officer is responsible for taking appropriate measures to protect the property of an arrested person, the question of whether the officer's failure to impound such vehicle constitutes a breach of duty, creating an exposure to tort liability, must be resolved by a competent trier of fact in light of all relevant facts and circumstances. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1570, K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 75-6103.
