Book Description
K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a(b) prescribes the conditions under which a city utilizing non-partisan elections must hold a primary election. The statute on its face is uniformly applicable to all cities, and is contained in an act (L. 1982, ch. 157) which is also uniform. K.S.A. 25-2113, which is contained in a different act, sets forth a general rule for non-partisan city elections, but also contains a provision for partisan city elections in Johnson County. The inclusion of this provision renders K.S.A. 25-2113 non-uniform, and thereby subject to a charter ordinance under a city's home rule authority. However, in the absence of such an ordinance which would allow partisan elections, the general provisions of K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a concerning primary elections continue to apply. To the extent it is inconsistent with this opinion, Attorney General Opinion No. 78-49 is superseded. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 25-2108a, K.S.A. 25-2113, Kan. Const. Art. 12, section 5.

Book Description
No state statute prescribes a procedure whereby a city of the third class may change from the commission form of government to the mayor-council form of government. However, the governing body of such a city may, by ordinance adopted pursuant to home rule powers, prescribe that the city shall revert to the mayor-council form of government on the date of the next city election, and provide for the election of a mayor and five council members at that election. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-184, 12-1019, 12-1027, 12-1035, 12-1036h, 12-10a09, 13-1812, 14-1807, 15-124, 15-1201, 15-1704, Kan. Const., Art. 12, section 5.

Book Description
The provisions of subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426, which allow the legislature to reject, modify or revoke an administrative rule and regulation by means of the adoption of a concurrent resolution, are unconstitutional. Such action by the legislature is an unlawful usurpation of the governor's constitutional power to administer and enforce the laws. Such action violates the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers. In addition, the legislative oversight mechanism prescribed in subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426 is unconstitutional for the reason that it attempts to authorize the legislature to make law, without following the mandatory procedures of the Kansas Constitution. The Kansas constitution requires that any law be enacted only by bill [not by resolution or concurrent resolution]; that every bill contain the constitutionally-specified enacting clause; and that all bills passed by the legislature be presented to the governor for approval or disapproval. The procedure set forth in subsections (c) and (d) of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426 does not meet these constitutional requirements and is unconstitutional. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 77-426; Kan. Const., Art. 2, sections 14, 20.

Pursuant to the restrictions of K.S.A. 17-5904, and subject to exemptions prescribed therein, corporations (other than family farm corporations and authorized farm corporations) may not own agricultural land in this state. An investment plan whereby a corporation (other than a family farm corporation or authorized farm corporation) would own agricultural land, subject to a "buyback option," would violate the restrictions of the aforesaid statute. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 17-5903, K.S.A. 17-5904.
