Under the United States Supreme Court decision in H̲a̲z̲e̲l̲w̲o̲o̲d̲ ̲S̲c̲h̲o̲o̲l̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲t̲r̲i̲c̲t̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲K̲u̲h̲l̲m̲e̲i̲e̲̲r̲, local public school officials and administrators may exercise reasonable control over activities sponsored by a public school such as publications, theatrical productions and other expressive activities so long as the educators' actions are reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns and there is no intent to create a public forum.

Students in private, accredited schools are subject to reasonable school regulations. The H̲a̲z̲e̲l̲w̲o̲o̲d̲ decision applies to public schools on its facts, and does not apply to non-public schools.

Book Description
Gross operating revenue," as that term is used in 1989 House Bill No. 2502, includes revenue received from transactions other than title insurance. For purposes of determining whether 20% of gross operating revenue received in the previous six months is derived from controlled business, revenue received from transactions involving land sales in counties populated by 10,000 or less is not included. Since the prohibitions contained in the act do not substantially impair obligations under existing title insurance contracts, the act does not violate the contracts clause of the United States Constitution. The distinction between counties having a population of 10,000 or less and those having a population of more than 10,000 does not create an impermissible classification. Finally, the rule-making authority granted by the act does not conflict with the statute granting rulemaking authority in areas not affected by the act. Cited herein: K.S.A. 40-1111, as amended by L. 1988, ch. 156, section 19; K.S.A. 40-2404 (Ensley 1986); K.S.A. 1988 Supp. 40-2404, as amended by 1989 House Bill No. 2502; K.S.A. 40-2404a; K.A.R. 40-3-43 (Proposed, not yet published); U.S. Const. Art. I, section 10, cl. 1.

Book Description
The second proviso of section 12 of chapter 292 of the session laws of 1993 is an unconstitutional delegation of authority to the judiciary and, consequently, the appropriation amount remains in the general fund until the legislature convenes and a new appropriations statute is enacted. Furthermore, the state of Kansas is only responsible for paying the costs and expenses associated with post-conviction non-prison sanctions for felony offenders in an amount not to exceed the appropriation amount of $375,000 for fiscal year 1994. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-348; K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 21-4502; K.S.A. 21-4603b; K.S.A. 75-5291; L. 1992, Ch. 239, secs. 238, 300; L. 1993, Ch. 292, sec. 12; Kan. Const., Art. 2, sec. 24; Art. 3, sec. 1.
