Book Description
The act which originally created township zoning boards, L. 1939, ch. 164, was nonuniform in its application due to language contained in section 1 (now K.S.A. 19-2901). By virtue of amendments in 1981 (L. 1981, ch. 122), the nonuniform language was removed, leaving K.S.A. 19-2901 through 19-2910 and 19-2912 and 19-2913 uniform in their application and thus not subject to the home rule power of a county under K.S.A. 19-101a e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. While K.S.A. 19-2911 does contain a subsection which is nonuniform, the nonuniformity is a result of a legislative act which did not amend the remaining sections of K.S.A. 19-2901 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. Thus, the nonuniformity of K.S.A. 29-2911 does not affect the uniform applicability of these other sections. Furthermore, as the nonuniform language was part of an act affecting central business district redevelopment bonds, K.S.A. 19-101a(a), E̲l̲e̲v̲e̲n̲t̲h̲, acts to prevent a county from exempting itself from even this single statute. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 12-1774, K.S.A. 19-101a, 19-101b, 19-2901, 19-2911, L. 1979, ch. 52, section 121, L. 1980, ch. 91, L. 1981, ch. 122, section 1.

Book Description
Charitable immunity, in contrast to governmental immunity, did not exist in the common law prior to the enactment of the Kansas. Constitution. As a result, a legislative grant of immunity to charitable organizations from suits arising out of the negligence of the organization in distributing free food would violate Section 18 of the Kansas Bill of Rights, which guarantees all persons who suffer injury a remedy by due course of law. Attorney General Opinion No. 80-187 is affirmed. Cited herein: K.S.A. 48-915, 48-936, 65-1127, 65-1462, 65-1652, 65-2891, 65-2898, Section 18, Kansas Bill of Rights.

Book Description
"We are concerned here with the application of K.S.A. 75-4304(a) which states in pertinent part thus: "No public officer or employee shall in his capacity as such officer or employee, make or participate in the making of a contract with any person or business by which he is employed or in whose business he has a substantial interest, and no such person or business shall enter into any contract where any public officer or employee, acting in such capacity, is a signatory to or a participant in the making of such contract and is employed by or has a substantial interest in such person or business." ... The question may be raised whether the board action in question constitutes the making of a contract."

Book Description
As amended by L. 1982, ch. 144, section 5, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 8-1567 provides that a person convicted of a violation of the offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol may be required to perform public or community service work as an alternative to incarceration or payment of a fine. In assigning the work to be performed, a judge or court services division would be exercising judicial and discretionary functions, respectively, and would be exempt from liability under the Tort Claims Act, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 75-6101 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.

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.
