Book Description
1984 Senate Bill No. 858 reduces the sentences which may lawfully be imposed upon persons convicted of Class D or E felonies which are not included in articles 34, 35 or 36 of chapter 21 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated. An attempt to commit a felony contained in these three articles is defined as a distinct criminal act by article 33 of the same chapter. Thus, the exclusion of these three articles from the provisions of the bill does not extend to attempts to commit such crimes. Under the terms of this bill, the sentencing court must review the sentence of a person convicted of a non-excluded D or E felony and, at the discretion of the court, reduce the minimum term of imprisonment to the new limits in K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 21-4501, as amended. Such a review and possible reduction is also required for persons who were sentenced for the included felonies within the time frame established by the bill, but who were placed on probation and who remain subject to possible imprisonment should the conditions of their probation be violated. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 21-3301, 21-4501, 21-4602, 21-4610, K.S.A. 21-4618, 22-3716, 1984 Senate Bill No. 858.

Book Description
In S̲t̲a̲t̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲R̲o̲s̲e̲, 234 Kan. 1044 (1984), the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that K.S.A. 8-1749a (amended by L. 1984, ch. 39, section 20, effective January 1, 1985), is n̲o̲t̲ unconstitutionally vague and indefinite under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The court said the term "substantially" means less than totally or the whole, but more than imaginary. The term defines a standard between the extremes of total and complete impairment and slight impairment. Since the conclusion reached in Attorney General Opinion No. 84-92 is contrary to the decision of the court in S̲t̲a̲t̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲R̲o̲s̲e̲, s̲u̲p̲r̲a̲, the opinion is withdrawn. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1749a, (amended by L. 1984, ch. 39, section 20, effective January 1, 1985); U.S. Const., 14th Amendment.

Book Description
In making recommendations as to the zoning of an individual parcel of land, a planning commission acts in a quasi-judicial, rather than a legislative, function. As such, its deliberations may be held in closed session, as a specific exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Law, K.S.A. 75-4317 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. For purposes of the Open Meetings Law, "binding action" would occur when the commission votes to approve or deny a particular request, and would have to be done in an open meeting. Further, In that K.S.A. 12-708 requires the commission to adopt its recommendations by affirmative vote at the conclusion of the hearing, it is not possible to have a binding vote before such recommendations, in the form of specific findings, are prepared. Cited herein: K.S.A. 12-708, K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 75-4318, 75-4319.
