Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 8-237 the chief law enforcement officer of a local unit of government can only recommend to the division of vehicles if an applicant should be issued a driver's license. The final decision rests with the division of vehicles. Cities and counties are not able to use their home rule powers to deny licenses to persons under the age of 16 years if the statute is uniformly applicable and does not grant such authority. Allowing the raising of the driving age to 16 years, in some counties but not others, will not violate an individual's constitutional right to equal protection. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-237, Kan. Const., Art. 12, section 5.

Book Description
Based on I̲n̲ ̲r̲e̲ ̲A̲p̲p̲l̲i̲c̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲N̲o̲e̲l̲ ̲f̲o̲r̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲c̲h̲a̲r̲g̲e̲ ̲H̲e̲a̲r̲i̲n̲g̲, 17 Kan. App. 2d 303 (1992), it is our opinion that K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428(3), as amended, and K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428a(3), which are used to determine the need for continued commitment of insanity acquittees, violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment by not placing the burden of proof upon the state to show by clear and convincing evidence both the committed person's continued insanity and dangerousness. However, rather than striking the statutes down, the Court of Appeals engrafted the essential requirements onto the statutes. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 22-3428, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 309, section 3; 22-3428a.

Book Description
A "caller ID" service provided by a telephone company to a customer who subscribes to the service is essentially a trap and trace device which enables the person receiving the phone call to view the telephone number of the incoming call prior to answering the phone. Such devices are generally prohibited without a court order under K.S.A. 22-2525. However, as caller ID service is provided only at the customer's request, it would fall under the exception to the prohibition in K.S.A. 22-2525(c) as the user of the service has clearly consented and indeed subscribed to such service. Therefore, a caller ID service would not violate Kansas law. Cited herein: K.S.A. 22-2525; 22-2529.

Book Description
An attempt by a board of education and a professional employees' organization to ratify amendments to the contracts of employment of professional employees without submitting the amendments to a vote of the professional employees pursuant to K.S.A. 72-5421 would conflict with the purposes of professional negotiation recognized by the legislature. Any provisions of an agreement conferring such authority upon a board of education and a professional employees' organization would be void and unenforceable. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-5411, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 20, section 1; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 72-5412; 72-5413; K.S.A. 72-5414; 72-5421; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 72-5423; K.S.A. 72-5424; 72-5437, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 20, section 2.

Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 74-4960, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 14, and 74-4960a, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 15, the Kansas public employees retirement system (KPERS) is obligated to make payment of the 10% benefit due a minor child of a disabled member of the Kansas police and firemen's retirement system (KP & F) only to a legally appointed conservator. It is necessary, therefore, that a conservator be appointed for each minor child of the member's family. Unless the divorce decree provides otherwise, a member of KP & F who is making child support payments pursuant to a divorce decree is entitled to credit toward those payments the amount of the 10% benefit paid by KPERS to the conservator of the minor child. If the 10% benefit exceeds the amount owed pursuant to the divorce decree, the excess will be considered a gratuity under the divorce decree. If the court determines that payment of the 10% benefit to a conservator somehow results in a material change in circumstances, the court may modify the order fixing child support. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-165, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 312, section 1; K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 59-3004; 60-1610, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 273, section 2; 74-4916, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 8; 74-4927h; 74-4959, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 13; K.S.A. 74-4960, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 14; 74-4960a, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 321, section 15.
