Book Description
A personal property tax is imposed by K.S.A. 79-307b upon cattle which are held in feedlots. The statute permits the operator of the feedlot to collect the tax, which is calculated on a daily basis for each head of livestock present in the lot, and remit the same to the county along with the monthly report which is required by the same statute. Such taxes may not be released, discharged, remitted or commuted by the board of county commissioners or any other county officer. Accordingly, a resolution by a county commission which rebates part or all of the tax to the owner of the cattle either directly or indirectly through a collection fee to the feedlot operator is invalid. However, a collection fee which is not based on the amount of tax collected and which is reasonable in size is permissible. Cited herein: K.S.A. 79-307b; 79-1703.

Book Description
Under its police power, a state may reimburse itself for the cost of regulating and supervising a business by assessing the necessary expenses to the business which created the necessity for such regulation and supervision. Use of conservation fee fund monies for the prevention and cleanup of pollution from oil and gas activities regulated by the state corporation commission is sufficiently related to the regulatory function to make its use for such purposes a valid exercise of the police power. The conservation fee fund may be used to fund the study and cleanup of oil and gas pollution pursuant to section 37 of 1986 House Bill No. 3078 (K.S.A. 55-143, as amended by 1986, ch. 201, section 37), to the extent that such study and cleanup are reasonably related to those activities of the oil and gas industry which are regulated by the commission. Use of the conservation fee fund by the state corporation commission for those oil and gas activities it does not regulate (as authorized by K.S.A. 55-143, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 201, section 37, which references subsection (a)(2)(A)-of K.S.A. 65-171d, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 201. section 22), is contrary to the findings of the Kansas Supreme Court in P̲a̲n̲h̲a̲n̲d̲l̲e̲ ̲E̲a̲s̲t̲e̲r̲n̲ ̲P̲i̲p̲e̲l̲i̲n̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲F̲a̲d̲e̲l̲e̲y̲. Such use exacts revenue from the oil and gas industry under the guise of a regulatory fee in violation of article 11, section 1 of the Kansas Constitution, and the commerce clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the United State Constitution. Cited herein: Kans. Const., Art. 11, section 1; U.S. Const., Fourteenth Amendment; K.S.A. 55-131; 55-143; 65-171d, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 33, section 10(f); L. 1986, ch. 201, sections 1, 2, 10, 17, 22, 28, 37, 39 and 40; and K.A.R. 28-41-1.

Book Description
K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2) authorizes public bodies subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) to recess into an executive session for the purpose of "consultation with an attorney for the body or agency which would be deemed privileged in the attorney-client relationship ..." The term "consultation" as used in the KOMA necessarily implies the presence of an attorney. Even though a letter from an attorney to his client containing advice is a privileged communication, we must conclude that members of a public body cannot recess into an executive session to review and discuss among themselves a letter from their attorney. Therefore, it is our opinion that the "consultation with an attorney" exception to the open meetings law cannot be invoked unless the attorney for the body is present. Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-426; 75-4317; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(a); K.S.A. 75-4319.

Book Description
A search warrant maybe issued by a district magistrate judge upon the sworn oral or written statement of a city attorney. Municipal law enforcement officers may execute such warrant, and property seized pursuant to the warrant may be admissible as evidence in a municipal court. However, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001(f) precludes the use of a search warrant to obtain a blood sample from a person who has refused to submit to a blood, breath or urine test pursuant to that statute. An ordinance authorizing such procedure would be in conflict with the state statute prohibiting further testing after an informed refusal. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 40, section 2; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1005, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 41, section 1; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1567(m); K.S.A. 12-4504; K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 22-2202, as amended by L. 1986, ch. 133, section 1; K.S.A. 22-2502; 22-2503; 22-2507; L. 1986, ch. 40, section 1.
