Book Description
K.S.A. 80-1201 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., impose a duty on the township trustees of each Kansas township with regard to the eradication of prairie dogs in those counties in which there is an infestation. The trustee of each township is empowered to purchase such materials as may be needed for this task, including poisons, with the cost thereof spread as an additional mill levy upon real property in the township. While K.S.A. 80-1202 provides for notice to be given to landowners concerning the problem and, upon their failure to act, for entry by the township trustee or his agents upon private land, such provisions apply only to those counties which meet the criteria contained in the statute. The same is true regarding the provisions of the same statute which deal with the assessment of landowners who do not comply with the notice of the township trustee. However, as it is within the home rule authority of a county to provide for the eradication of prairie dogs, Lane County may adopt by resolution those provisions of K.S.A. 80-1202 which are otherwise applicable only to townships in certain counties. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 19-101a(b), as amended by L. 1983, ch. 92, section 1, K.S.A. 80-1202, L. 1969, ch. 472, section 1.

Book Description
A bank may, for purposes of securing deposits of public funds, pledge revenue bonds issued by a quasi-municipal corporation, provided that approval is given by the state bank commissioner. An exception is made in the case of bonds secured by revenues of a utility which has been in operation less than three years, with the use of such bonds not permitted for pledging purposes. K.S.A. 9-1402(e)(1). Pursuant to a rule and regulation of the bank commissioner (K.A.R. 17-14-1), the term "utility" is defined using the definition found at K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 10-1201, which includes publicly-owned facilities of a revenue-producing character which supply water. In that a rural water district organized pursuant to K.S.A. 82a-612 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., is a quasi-municipal corporation which operates publicly-owned water supply facilities and may issue revenue bonds therefor, K.S.A. 9-1402(e) is applicable to those districts whose systems have not been in operation for three years. Cited herein: K.S.A. 9-1402, 10-101, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 10-1201, K.S.A. 82a-616, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 82a-619, 82a-625, K.A.R. 17-14-1.

Book Description
1983 Senate Bill No. 28, enacted as L. 1983, ch. 202, provides a limited legislative grant of immunity to a donor of free food to a charitable or non-profit organization which subsequently distributes the food to the public. Except in cases where injury is a direct result of the negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of the donor, no liability shall attach. However, the law is restricted to a good-faith donor of canned or perishable food, with the former term defined to mean food which is commercially processed and prepared for human consumption. Food which is processed by an individual in their home, even if by accepted methods of canning, cannot be considered as commercially processed unless the individual normally engages in the sale of such canned goods for profit. Cited herein: L. 1983, ch. 202.

Book Description
For purposes of civil proceedings under the Code for Care of Children, the legislature defined types of behavior which would constitute sexual abuse by reference to sex offenses in the criminal code, however, it did not thereby intend to adopt a criminal definition of sexual abuse. Thus, while certain acts described as sex offenses in the criminal statutes may not be punishable crimes if committed with a child age 16 years or older; those same acts may constitute abuse of that child under the definition of that term in the Code for Care of Children. Cited herein: K.S.A. 21-3501, 21-3503, 21-3504 as amended by L. 1983, ch. 109; 21-3509, 21-3510, 21-3511, 21-3516, K.S.A. 1982 Supp. 38-1502 as amended by L. 1983, ch. 140, 42 U.S.C. sections 5102, 5104, 45 C.F.R. section 1340.2, 1340.14, 48 Fed. Reg. 3698 (January 26, 1983).

Book Description
Section 4(d) of 1983 House Bill No. 2327 (L. 1983, ch. 171), the new Kansas Open Records Act, provides that each request for access shall be acted upon as soon as possible, but not later than three business days following receipt of the request. Only if the request cannot be met within this time must the custodian of the records provide an explanation of the cause for further delay. In addition, the phrases "provide access to" and "permit inspection of" are used interchangeably throughout the bill, and may accordingly be treated as synonymous for purposes of interpretation. Both phrases concern the right of the public to examine public records, and so are different than the right to make copies. Cited herein: L. 1983, Ch. 171.
