Book excerpt: Attachment P to Circular A-102 of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) effects a new federal policy respecting the auditing of federal grants made to state and local governments. Even though the indirect effect of such policy is to shift the responsibility for the auditing of federal grants from the federal granting agencies to the state and local governments that receive funds, such policy directly affects and regulates the fiscal policies and procedures of federal agencies. As such, it is a valid exercise of OMB's authority, lawfully delegated by the President, to promote efficiency and uniformity in federal procedures and policies. Cited herein: L. 1980, ch. 153, 3 U.S.C.A. section 301, 5 U.S.C.A. sections 305, 901.

Book excerpt: Under the provisions of K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4504 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, sec. 1), the board of supervisors of panels to aid indigent defendants is empowered to adopt rules and regulations concerning the ability of a defendant in a criminal action to retain counsel to assist in his defense. Such rules and regulations specifically relate to the income, assets and anticipated costs of representation of a defendant. Pursuant to the 1981 amendment, such rules and regulations are controlling on any determination by a judge or magistrate as to whether a defendant is financially unable to employ counsel. Moreover, these rules and regulations are adopted in accordance with K.S.A. 77-415 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., thus allowing the legislature to modify or reject them through the adoption of a concurrent resolution (K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 77-426). Insofar as the making of indigency determinations involves the resolution of questions of fact, which is a judicial and not a legislative function, control by the legislature over such determinations is an impermissible interference with the authority of another department of government. Accordingly, those provisions of L. 1981, ch. 157 which require the submission of such rules and regulations to the legislature and which make any rules and regulations so adopted binding on district courts are unconstitutional as violative of the separation of powers doctrine. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4501, 22-4504 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, section 1), 22-4507, K.S.A. 22-4512, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 22-4514, 77-415 (as amended by L. 1981, ch. 157, section 3), Kansas Constitution, Article 3, Section 1, United States Bill of Rights, Sixth Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment.

Book excerpt: Pursuant to L. 1980, ch. 72, section 3, "personal liability" is imposed upon boards of public utilities and their employees in certain circumstances. Such imposition of "personal liability" does not violate constitutional requirements of equal protection and due process, and is not invalid or unenforceable on the ground of vagueness.

Book excerpt: Even though the president of the United States may have authority to delegate powers and duties to the governor, the president has no constitutional power to compel the governor's acceptance of such delegation. Moreover, under our constitutional form of government, the governor has no inherent power separate and apart from our state's constitution, and the authority of the governor must be derived from the specific grants of power to the governor in the constitution and in the laws duly enacted by the legislature thereunder. Thus, as respects powers and duties delegated to the governor by the president, the governor's ability to accept such delegation is dependent upon the existence of specific constitutional or statutory provisions providing such authority, or upon such authority as is to be reasonably and necessarily implied therefrom. Cited herein: Kan. Const., Art. 1, sections 3, 7; 15 U.S.C.A. sections 751 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., 42 U.S.C.A. sections 8501 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲.
