Book Description
The Kansas minimum wage and maximum hours law (MWMHL) supplements the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), covering those occupations the FLSA does not reach and those which the FLSA excludes from coverage. It is therefore our opinion that the provisions of the MWMHL apply to law enforcement agencies with less than five employees as these occupations have been exempted from coverage under the FLSA. Cited herein: K.S.A. 44-1201 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.; 29 U.S.C. sections 207, 213; 29 C.F.R. section 553.4.

Book Description
K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1008 creates an alcohol and drug safety action fund for each court which enforces the provisions of K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1567 or a municipal ordinance patterned after the statute. In the case of the municipal court of the City of Wichita, the fund is administered by the administrative judge. Insofar as the court itself has been designated as a community-based alcohol and drug safety action program by the administrative judge of the Eighteenth Judicial District [pursuant to K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1008(b)], money from the fund may be expended by the court for personnel, equipment and facilities necessary to carrying out the provisions of this statute. In the absence of such designation by the administrative judge of the judicial district, the municipal court would be limited to the ten percent expenditure limit included in subsection (e) of the statute, as noted in Attorney General Opinion No. 85-68. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1008, 8-1567.

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
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
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.

Book Description
42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523b(1) prohibits the use of federally provided amounts as a non-federal match contribution. Once a recipient provider has properly received Medicaid reimbursement funds and is free to expend them in any legally permissible manner, those funds become the freely alienable property of that recipient. Thus, such a recipient and not the federal government provides the funds which may thereafter be used to match a grant pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523(a). Cited herein: 42 U.S.C. 290aa, Part C, Sec. 523; 42 U.S.C.A. 1396; 42 C.F.R. 74.53; 42 C.F.R. 433.45; K.S.A. 39-701, 39-717, 75-3301, 75-5301; K.A.R. 30-5-58.
