Book Description
A district convention held to elect a person to be appointed to fill a vacancy in a district office is subject to K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 25-3902. The county chairperson must, within 10 days of receipt of notice that a vacancy has occurred or will occur, call a convention by mailing a notice to the persons designated in subsection (b) or (c) of K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 25-3902. The convention is to be convened and held as soon as is reasonable and practicable after the appropriate time as set forth in subsection (b) or (c) has elapsed. An actual vacancy need not exist before the convention is called and held. K.S.A. 13-1802 precludes a member of the board of commissioners of a city of the first class from simultaneously serving as a state representative. The common law doctrine of incompatibility of offices does not preclude an individual from simultaneously serving as a state representative and as president of a registered lobbying group. However, the ability of an individual to simultaneously serve in both roles is subject to the findings of the Kansas commission on governmental standards and conduct. Cite herein: K.S.A. 13-1802; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 25-3902; 25-3903a; 46-160; K.S.A. 46-254; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 75-4303a, as amended by L. 1991, ch. 150, section 42.

Book Description
1992 House Bill No. 3215, the omnibus reconciliation spending limit bill, suspends by implication the spending limit provisions of K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 75-6701 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. Even if the provisions are not suspended, any inconsistency between the two raises political questions only, over which a court would refuse to exercise jurisdiction. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 75-6701; 75-6702; 75-6703; 75-6704; Kan. Const., art. 2, section 16.

Book Description
K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 46-1101 gives the legislative post auditor access to otherwise confidential or private records; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 46-1106 requires the post auditor to comply with any "duty of confidentiality imposed by law." The Kansas open records act (KORA), K.S.A. 45-215 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., requires public records to be disclosed upon request unless a law permits or requires closure of a specific public record. The record in question is a contract which was in part made by a public agency. It therefore meets the definition of a public record, and is subject to the KORA. The only provision we have located that permits or requires closure of the questioned portions of the public record is in the contract itself. Public records may not be closed by contract unless a law permits or requires closure of the specific record. As no such law has been located, with regard to the specific portions of the record in question, it is our opinion that a contractual term attempting to close this information is void as against stated public policy. Such a term must therefore be severed from the otherwise legal portions of the agreement, and disclosure of the questioned portions of the record may occur. Disclosure of other records or matters must be examined on a case by case basis to determine if there is a legal duty to disclose such records or matters. Absent a mandatory disclosure requirement, an agreement not to disclose creates a duty which post audit must respect, pursuant to K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 46-1106 (g). Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-215; 45-216; 45-217; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 45-221, as amended by L. 1991, ch. 149, section 12; K.S.A. 46-1101; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 46-1106; 46-1108; 46-1114.

Book Description
K.S.A. 76-746, the reduced-service program for regents' institutions' faculty members, discriminates against faculty members 65 years of age and older. Since it does not meet the "equal benefit or equal cost" test and is not consistent with the purposes of the age discrimination in employment act (ADEA), it is not excepted from the act pursuant to the older workers benefit protection act and would be found to violate the ADEA. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 74-4925, as amended by L. 1991, ch. 237, section 2; K.S.A. 76-746; K.A.R. 88-12-1; 29 U.S.C. sections 621, 623; 29 C.F.R. section 1625.10.
